{Thoughts}

I read this in my devotions this morning. I was especially encouraged by the last line.

“If you are pressing forward and upward, seeking to attain new heights in education and in spiritual things, you will have discernment to understand that which is required of you. You will have the Holy Spirit to help you all your infirmities. It is natural for the youth to love amusement…, but the natural inclinations must be overcome by putting the soul under the discipline to God…..Walk not hesitatingly, but firmly in the strength and grace of Jesus Christ.”

    Discernment is absolutely essential to one’s spiritual life. I think of it as common sense with the touch of the Divine. Rather than rush into things, discern first through prayer and patience if this is what or where God wants you to be:).

    Excellent reflection Thanks Clare:)

    Peace & JOY to you:)
