Common sense and discernment—gifts of Wisdom. Common sense is truly a gift to those who have it. It is practical sound judgment and it simply makes life so much easier. Discernment, like understanding, allows a person to see beyond themselves—to understand things that are happening around them or to other people. Discernment actually helps a person to be sensitive to judging other people’s character and actions. That is a useful ability. A real gift that can be refreshing to one’s soul. Common sense and discernment can give a person confidence in themselves—especially as they see the Lord working in their life. Good reason to “hang on to” those traits—to rely on them—to use those gifts from the Lord God—the very giver of Wisdom. Refreshment is good for the soul…especially during Lent.
Do you see yourself having common sense or
the quality of discernment? Do you see those qualities in your children or
grandchildren? Is it possible to help them develop those qualities? Yes, it
begins with prayer. And this I pray, that your love may abound still
more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may
approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless
until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness
which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:9-11. Pray for your family that they
would have discernment.
Prayer
~ Lord, be gracious to me, my family, friends and neighbors to fill us with
common sense and discernment that can only come from and through You. Give us
wisdom to use these gifts wisely for You. Refresh our souls.
