Give discernment to me, your servant; then I will understand Your laws.
Psalm 119:125
NLT Bible
We live in an age in which we are constantly bombarded with information from many sources. Our peers, religious and political leaders all seem to have different views and opinions. How then, can we make informed decisions as to what's right and what's wrong and be sure of the path we should follow? Firstly, we must be grounded in the Word of God as it holds the answers to all of our questions and everything we are facing. Secondly, we need to ask God for discernment, so that we will be able to understand His laws and precepts.
This equips us with the knowledge to discern whether something we've been told is true and in accordance with the Word of God or if its just a false doctrine that we need to reject. As we spend time in prayer and in the Word, we should ask God for understanding, insight and wisdom. People will always try to fill our minds with their personal beliefs, but as we cling to God and His Word, the Holy Spirit empowers us with the discernment and spiritual direction needed to stay on the path God has set before us.
Thank you Lord for Your wisdom. Help me to discern what is being said to me. Let everything 'line up' with Your Word. Help me to not get caught up in any false teaching, but may I always hold fast to Your laws and precepts. I love you Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
