Practice Discernment

Today’s tip comes from Proverbs 3:21-24 which says:

“My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them, for they will refresh your soul. They are like jewels on a necklace. They keep you safe on your way, and your feet will not stumble. You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly.”

As we read those verses, we see this:

Practicing discernment helps your soul rest.

Rest, especially deep rest for our souls is a valuable, and often missing, commodity in this day and age. Reading these verses we are encouraged that when we seek God, develop and use discernment, it helps us stay on the right path which ultimately allows us to live in a more restful and refreshing way. This does not mean we won’t still have difficulties and challenges, but it sets up to be equipped to better handle those challenges with God’s help.
