Philippians 1:9-10
“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,”
It is good to listen to preachers, advice, and teachings from other Christians, read books, and of course study the bible and pray. When you pray make sure you pray for the knowledge and discernment over all of these things. You see we all have our own paths we must take. We all have our own gifts and jobs given to us by God. So it is important that we are hearing exactly what we need at all times.
We take in about 34 gigabytes of information a day. Our brain then has to sort through what is important and what to ignore or get rid of later. We have to find what is useful for our lives at that moment. Like many students use to tell me, “We don’t want all the notes, just tell us what is on the test!”
Our prayer for discernment is kind of like asking God for the cliff notes to the test. We absorb all this knowledge and have a great depth of insight. Now, we need the discernment of what and how to use it all. We need to know what is on that test! The only way you are going to get that answer is staying connected to God in prayer. Pray and wait for the answer. Then go ace that test!
Lord, I am asking for discernment today, to pass the test of life! ~amen
