What Is Discernment and Why It Matters
- Definition: Discernment is the spiritual ability to perceive, judge, and distinguish between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, God's voice and the world's noise.
- It’s not about being judgmental — it’s about being wise. It helps you recognize what’s meant for you and what’s not.
- Biblical Foundation – Hebrews 5:14 (ESV):
“But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.” - This is a practice. You don’t just wake up with it one day — it’s grown through seeking God, reflecting on truth, and tuning into His voice over time.
Reflection Questions for Listeners- What am I currently discerning or confused about?
- Where have I been operating from a place of “don’t want” instead of “do want”?
- What aligned action might God be inviting me into today?

1 Kings 3:9 (NIV):
“So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong...” (Solomon’s prayer)
→ Discernment is a prayer-worthy pursuit, and God responds when we ask for it.
Romans 12:2 (ESV):
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God…”
