Jesus was a man of great discernment, and if we want to be like him, we have to allow the Holy Spirit to teach us discernment. Having discernment means you evaluate things. You don’t just automatically accept what somebody tells you. You check it out. You don’t get sucked in by popular culture. Even if it’s mentioned on a talk show or a magazine cover or if everybody says it’s cool, you still check it out. You ask questions like, “Is this the truth? Does this square with reality? How does this fit into God’s worldview?” In Romans 12:2, the apostle Paul says, “Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God .… Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it” (MSG). That’s a snapshot of discernment at work in your life.
