Having discernment is essential if we want to avoid foolish situations and poor decisions. Being able to read between the lines, or being able to predict outcomes to alternative solutions is necessary for maturity. We cannot go through life blindly. But as facts are twisted and stories are told in order to manipulate us, it takes effort to be discerning. Knowing God’s word and relying on the Spirit are the foundation if we want to build discernment into our lives.
“True wisdom is not a set of principles but a supernatural Person. And we receive this wisdom not simply through acts of the will but through the transformation of our heart and desires by worshiping Him.” - Timothy and Kathy Keller, God’s Wisdom for Navigating Life
