This is discernment

I think that discernment and wisdom go hand in hand , The Lord says if any man lack wisdom to ask of him . both have to be taught. Understanding is discerning. And then put in practice in everything that we do -faith with works.

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”

‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

https://bible.com/bible/1/jas.1.5.KJV

“For the LORD giveth wisdom: Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.2.6.KJV

“to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.12.10.KJV

... Read moreDiscernment, as highlighted in the article, uniquely intertwines with wisdom, both of which are fundamental qualities taught and granted through divine guidance. The scriptures referenced—James 1:5, Proverbs 2:6, and 1 Corinthians 12:10—emphasize that wisdom is a gift from God, offered generously to those who seek it with faith. Biblical wisdom extends beyond mere knowledge; it entails practical understanding that influences one's actions and decisions. The concept of "discerning of spirits" in 1 Corinthians illustrates that discernment involves perceiving the spiritual significance behind events and interactions, a critical skill for living a faithful and effective life. This insight is supported by the notion that faith must be accompanied by works, demonstrating that true understanding manifests in action. The included OCR content enriches this discussion by underscoring the theme of love and loyalty through actions rather than words, a principle that resonates deeply with spiritual discernment. The example of pets not speaking yet showing love highlights how discerning love requires observation and practice rather than reliance on verbal communication alone. For those seeking to grow in discernment and wisdom, it is important to actively pray and ask God for guidance, as advised in the scripture. Consistently applying learnt wisdom to daily life strengthens one's faith and leads to greater spiritual maturity. Overall, the synergy between wisdom, understanding, and discernment forms the foundation for a meaningful spiritual journey, encouraging believers to seek knowledge actively, interpret experiences through a godly lens, and demonstrate their faith through tangible actions.

A handwritten note on a lined notebook page titled 'DISCERNMENT.' It defines discernment as understanding good/evil and thinking like God, lists Bible verses (Psalm 119:125, Acts 17:11), and explains how to receive it through prayer, Scripture, obedience, and removing judgment. It also provides biblical examples from John, Romans, and Hebrews.
Discernment: Learning to Trust God’s Whisper✨
Discernment isn’t about being suspicious or judgmental, it’s about being aligned. It’s the quiet wisdom God gives us to recognize what’s from Him and what isn’t, even when everything looks good on the surface. Sometimes discernment doesn’t come with loud alarms; it comes as a gentle nudge, a pause
