“Discernment” comes from the Latin “Discernere”, which means: to separate, divide, recognize.
This word in the Bible is placed as the intelligence of knowing how to distinguish things, like recognizing the voice of God, separating the good way from the bad, dividing what we should or should not do wisely.
A well resolved life
Having this wisdom in our lives is what determines whether we will have a successful life, as our choices and planning will be thought out with prudence and prudence.
We gain this kind of intelligence through a relationship with God. For from Him comes all wisdom, as we see in Jeremiah 10:12: “But God made the earth by his power. He founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding“
The best advisor
The closer we are to God, the more we perceive His voice guiding us. There is no better and greater guide than the Creator himself! And He is available to you at any time.
God with all His wisdom and understanding proposes daily to share them with us, to teach us like a good master. He desires for each of us a snare-free walk in which we walk with balance and caution.
Set a target
One of the antonyms of “Discernment” is “thoughtless”, that is, something that was not thought or planned, something without a goal, a destination or purpose. God wants a complete life for you, a life He has already laid out a plan for and wants to present to you as you seek and hear from Him. Set your purposes and intentions well established, ground them in Christ and in the Word. The success of all this is a consequence.
