DISCERNMENT- How To Exercise Good Judgement!

God gives you a white cloth..the devil brings his as well. Then you get confused as to which one is really from God! Now they may physically seem the same; but let me tell you, as much as the devil imitates God, he still cannot be as perfect as Him! So even though you see two similar white clothes, they are still different and you will only be able to tell with the right discernment.

Many at times we fall prey to the devil because we pray less about our choices!

Sometimes, what looks good and sounds good isn’t God’s plan.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. (Ps 119:66)

 One of the things we all have to do every single day is the exercise of judgment. We take hundreds and sometimes thousands of decisions each day. Some are minor like deciding what to wear, what to eat, sit, etc and some are major like deciding what job to do, who to marry or go out with. Even the minor decisions in the long run sum up to become major decisions.

 Deciding what to eat may look harmless but in the long run it reflects on your health and wealth. 

The key issue therefore is, How can we have good judgment? I will show you how;

1. It has to be TAUGHT. This is because we do not have the natural propensity for it. It is found in the knowledge and commandments of God. Be eager to read, listen and be taught by able the Holy Spirit and  men of God.

2. We can acquire this knowledge through studying the word, by the Spirit of God and constant study of the word.

3. Good judgment comes from believing.

Your belief in the word of God will guide you more than your so called analytical calculus mind.
 Make sure you exercise good judgment with the help of the tools God has provided such as the WORD of God, men of God etc.

Today my prayer is that God will grant us His spirit of discernment so that we may be able to differentiate between things from Him and things from the devil!!      Amen
