Spiritual Wisdom = Discernment!

Since I was a very young child I've had spiritual discernment. I always knew things before they would happen. Sometimes it frightened me to the point I would pray and ask the Lord to take it away. But as I grew I knew one day I would come to except it and even embrace it and see it as a great gift He wanted me to have. I've come to understand that it can also protect me from evil and give me insight into the path I now travel. Like a Light that shines in the darkness to light my way. I am not talking about esp or psychic abilities, but a gift from The Lord.

Recently, I have had several encounters with people who are void of discernment. This really gets me upset. As I mulled over these situations I asked The Lord to show me what on earth was wrong with this picture. Why is this that so many have no discernment. It's like not having your eye sight. You are stumbling around trying to find your way and you are just plain blind.
Well the answer had already come before I had asked for it. Amazing! I know He has things timed just so as to always be there when I need it.

Two days earlier I was listening to Maya Angelo on the radio. She recounted an old African tale about a woman who came upon a snake in the road. The snake ask her to help him because he was cold and hungry. She replied aren't you a poisonous snake? He replied yes, but I am cold and need of help. So the woman took him home and placed him by the fire and fed him. The snake then asked her to pick him up and cuddle him which she did. Then he bite her under her breast. She said why have you done this ? The snake said I told you I was poisonous. Similar to the scorpion and the frog tale.

When we know that a person is bad, and we persist in their company, WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE! When we do not heed the warnings and red flags that our instinct is telling us BEWARE, WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE!

I looked up the word discernment, it is the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure. The power to see what is not evident to the average mind. Discernment stresses accuracy as in reading character and motives ,example: to know a true friend.

I also looked up wisdom and it surprised even me. It's definition is: Knowledge of what is true and right COUPLED with just judgement as to action. Sagacity, discernment or insight.

It is high time for everyone to wake up and SEE THE LIGHT!!!!!

America and the world are going to go thru the worst time in all human history. We need His wisdom and discernment more than ever.
