Daily Devotional. Therefore being Justified by Faith, we have Peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by Faith into this Grace wherein WE STAND, AND REJOICE in Hope of the Glory of God. And not only so, BUT WE GLORY IN TRIBULATIONS ALSO: knowing that Tribulation worketh Patience; And Patience, Experience; and Experience, Hope: And Hope maketh NOT ASHAMED; because the Love of God is shed abroad in our Hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 5:1-5. With these verses as a backdrop to keep us Encouraged when we have great questions in our life, we’ll start there. As iron sharpens iron, we need to seriously sharpen our own Discernment Skills to keep us in the Truth in the coming personal days. This discussion is for each one of us personally. When you have a Really Hard day and have to Call out to the Lord, is your hard day caused by the Lord working you over through His Chastening, Chastisement and Correction? Or is it a direct attack from Satan, (allowed by the Lord), as the Lord is using this attack for you to come against Satan, bind him up and ask the Lord to rebuke him out of your situation? This is a good place and time to Discern if this is the Lord, OR Satan, at work and for you to practice learning the difference. If it’s the Lord, be Patient, Learn and Endure. If it’s Satan, call on the Lord to come against Satan and his works coming against you. You’ll have more than enough “opportunities” to practice Learning and Knowing the difference. Today is a good day to ask the Lord to teach you the difference so your “tomorrow’s” will Grow in His Discernment, before the days come when you’ll REALLY need it. Discernment is a Gift, open it up, study it, practice using it, learn all you can so you’ll be ready later for whatever’s coming. Is it God? Is it Satan, no problem and no question, YOU’LL KNOW, if you’ve “done your homework” and Studied to shrew yourself Approved. That’s one less area for Satan to fool you, as you will, Be Blessed.
