DISCERNMENT
Proverbs 11:9 (11:10)
A man in need of discernment treats citizens with contempt,
But a man of discernment keeps quiet.
Personal Challenge
Discernment is such a critical characteristic for us to have and exercise. Unfortunately, in today's society and culture, true discernment has been discarded and replaced by a belief that we each have the right to say and do whatever we want, regardless of the impact it has on another. Our politicians have perfected this lack of discernment and propriety. Entire political parties pride themselves on treating citizens with contempt. This has even made it into our churches...Lord, have mercy! If we desire to turn the tide on this sinful behavior, then we must make the difficult choices to be countercultural. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
