Oftentimes we are given a scripture or thought to spend time figuring out. Maybe it was easily understandable — but other times, we can’t make heads or tails over the meaning, or if it’s even a message for US.
This is when spiritual discernment steps in. Find a trusted advisor, someone who is spiritually sound, they do not have to be a minister, sometimes a good friend can help sort it out WITH you, not for you.
As a wise friend recently told me — it’s my seeking/understanding that matters most. But sometimes we all need a little help!
Proverbs 2:3-5 Yes, if you want better insight and discernment, and are searching for them as you would for lost money or hidden treasure, then wisdom will be given you and knowledge of God himself; you will soon learn the importance of reverence for the Lord and of trusting him.
