Day 7: The Gift of Discernment

Hebrews 5:14

“But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.”

Discernment is more than a spiritual gift—it’s a survival skill in the life of a believer. In Hebrews 5:14, we’re reminded that spiritual maturity comes through constant practice, learning to recognize God’s truth in a world full of subtle lies. Discernment allows us to navigate decisions, relationships, and temptations with clarity and wisdom. Without it, we risk being misled by emotions, culture, or even half-truths that sound right but lead us away from God. Like any discipline, discernment grows when we regularly consume the "solid food" of God’s Word and allow the Holy Spirit to guide our thoughts and choices.

Reflection: How sharp is your spiritual discernment right now? Are you actively training yourself to recognize God’s voice and truth?
