Proverbs 2:3-5 (NKJV) 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
Discernment.
With it, we make sound choices and follow the straight and narrow path.
Without it, we make poor choices and our feet stray from the path that God set them on.
A question we get asked frequently is “how do I get better discernment and know when God is speaking to me?”.
Our answer is always this: “Spend time with God, in His word, talking to Him and then listening for Him to speak to you. Draw close to Him. Create a clean atmosphere in your home where God’s spirit can dwell and is not grieved. And press in to Him, putting Him first in everything.”
As you do these things, your ability to hear God’s voice will increase, which results in much sharper discernment.
It’s not something that happens overnight. It takes time and it doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because you pursue it on purpose.
And what’s even better is that God gives discernment to anyone willing to submit themselves to Him. It’s not something that’s only for “special” people or people in leadership positions.
So cry out and ask God for discernment and find the knowledge of God.
