“Abner called out to Joab, ‘Must the sword devour forever? Don’t you realize that this will end in bitterness? How long before you order your men to stop pursuing their fellow Israelites?’”
(2 Samuel 2:26)

This was the wise plea, Jesus

of a general whose army was being soundly beaten.

There’s a time to keep fighting

and a time to call a halt to the hostilities
when nothing worthwhile is being accomplished.

O Holy Spirit!

Give me Your discernment
to know which is which.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing understanding:

“The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.”
(1 Corinthians 2:14)

That explains some of my conversations with non-Christians, Jesus!

Before they can understand the treasures of Your Word
they first have to accept You, the Living Word!

What those You’re calling to Yourself can understand

is the good news of Your death, burial and resurrection out of love for them.

Pray this Lazaroo in desperate need:

“…rid yourselves of…all deceit…”
(1 Peter 2:1)

I hate being deceived, Jesus!

I long to take people at their word.

It’s so much work to study their body language
and facial giveaways.

I fervently wish I lived in a “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” world.

But I don’t.

So that means I have to be a good evaluator, doesn’t it?

Except…some people are really good deceivers.

Looks like I need to tap into one of Your priceless treasures –

the supernatural gift of discernment.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘Very well,’ Bathsheba replied, ‘I will speak to the king for you.’”
(1 Kings 2:18)

Bathsheba was naïve, trusting, politically inexperienced, Jesus

She took the conniving Adonijah at his word

not knowing that if her son Solomon had granted his brother’s request

she and her son would soon be dead.

I want to take people at face value, Father…but I’ve learned the hard way

that isn’t always possible

O Holy Spirit:

Grant me Your priceless gift of discernment!
