Discernment


“Why do you not know how to interpret the present time?” Luke 12:56




Jesus was berating the crowds that they did not know how to discern. I think discernment is striving to align our way of thinking with God’s thinking. Therefore, it is imperative to read God’s words in the Bible and think prayerfully about what we read.


If we persist in trusting God and His promises, we will be victorious in this present world and culture we live in. Sometimes, so much conspires against us. Even finding time to pray can be a struggle. But prayer is our lifeline to God, our umbilical cord. The same way our physical bodies will shrivel up and die without bread, our spirit also needs spiritual food. As St. Augustine puts it, “Our hearts are restless until it rests in Thee.” 


May my heart rest in Thee O Lord!
