A devotional reflection on distinguishing truth from error through God’s Word.

Biblical Discernment

Discernment is testing everything by Scripture. Scripture teaches that discernment protects believers from deception and guides them in truth. The Spirit uses the Word to give clarity and wisdom.

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. (Isaiah 8:20)

Be not deceived. (Galatians 6:7)

Christian Application

Discernment encourages believers that God provides light for every step and guards their hearts. Test everything by Scripture, seek wisdom, and cling to truth.

Sample Prayer

Lord, give me discernment to recognize truth and reject error. Amen.
