WHO'S DISCERNMENT?


Proverbs 3:7-8

Do not rely on your own discernment,
But fear God, and turn away from every evil.
Then there shall be healing for your body
And care for your bones.

Personal challenge

So, right after the writer of Proverbs tells us that if we trust in God that He will make our paths straight, he tells us to not rely on our own discernment but to fear God and to turn away from evil. Doing things our own way, on our own power, pulls us away from our dependency on God and leads us to evil. It is one thing to trust in God so that He will make our paths straight, but we must also humble ourselves on a constant basis and release our earthly discernment unto God so that He can give us His discernment, His Wisdom. Living this way not only keeps us on the straight path of life that He has laid out for us, but it will also bring healing to our bodies, both physical and spiritual, and care and rest for our bones, Glory be to God!
