Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 7 September 2019


Discernment

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.” (Philippians 1:9-11)

Today’s Morsel: When we read the book of Proverbs, which is a book of wisdom, you will find that the author often speaks of the importance of discretion.  He says, “When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee…” (Proverbs 2:10-11)  Without discretion, we are not able to discern right from wrong.  Paul said that we need discernment to aid us in approving things that are excellent, so that we will be sincere in our walk and life, and without wrongdoing till Jesus comes again; so that we will be filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Him.  We need discernment in what we see and what we hear, and what we believe, or we will be a fool forever.
Sing: Show me the way, that I may walk with You. Show me the way, that I must live for You. The cry of my heart is to know You more, live with the touch of Your hand, stronger every day, show me Your way.

Thought For Today: Can you discern the times?
