Proverbs 2:11

“Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.”

We all know that a split second decision can lead to lasting consequences. That’s why it’s so important to have discretion. Discretion can be defined as mature and sound insight or the ability to avoid words, actions, and attitudes which could result in undesirable consequences. By cultivating discretion, we can make informed decisions and navigate through life’s challenges more effectively. And hand in hand with discretion is understanding. Understanding acts as a shield, protecting us from hasty judgments and impulsive actions. When we seek both discretion and understanding, and apply them to our lives, we can experience greater protection. Protection in our relationships and in the choices we make. Both are powerful tools given by God to safeguard us on our journey through life. Together, discretion and understanding become formidable allies, fortifying us against the destruction of impulsive actions and misunderstandings.

February 9th – Revelation 16:15

Revelation 16:15

Only God has the ability to directly see what is truly in a person’s heart. (1 Samuel 16:7) For the rest of us, we can only judge others by what we see on the outside. So if we boldly claim to be Christians, our daily walk needs to mimic the walk of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We can’t have a bumper sticker on our car or wear a cross around our necks then act like the world. John tells us that we each have a spiritual set of clothes. Paid for by the blood of Jesus. And as His ambassadors on earth, we need to wear our outfits proudly. That means always being aware of our actions and behaviors. John warns that the glorious return of Christ is soon upon us. And when He comes, we don’t want to get caught wearing soiled, dirty, worldly clothes. But instead we want to be seen wearing the garments of love, grace, and mercy Jesus paid a ransom to provide.
