Proverbs 3:21 “My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight.”

Having godly wisdom is the key to this Scripture, especially when faced with questionable & misleading words or actions. Charles Spurgeon once wrote, “Discernment isn’t knowing the difference between right and wrong. It’s knowing the difference between right and almost right.” Now the devil has only two Modus Operandi…two methods or patterns of operation…them being deception & discouragement. And over the ages he has perfected the art of twisting the truth, tweaking it just a bit, and spinning it in his favor… so for the causal listener it sounds right. But when placed up against the Word of God, it reeks of trickery & deceit. If you’d stop someone on the street and ask if they know the difference between right & wrong, most people would say yes. But it’s that gray area, that almost right area, where most get sucked in and taken advantage of because they lack wisdom. But the good news for us all is, God will gladly give you wisdom if you just ask! (James 1:5)
