A Leader of Discernment So David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. 2 Samuel 12:13 Like Samuel before him, the prophet Nathan served as a leader to leaders. God used Nathan to correct his erring leader. Nathan could act as he did because of his keen, God-given discernment. Discernment goes deeper than knowledge, resembling intuition. At times, discernment is a gift; at other times, it results from much experience. Discernment brings a profound perception of what is occurring, either on the outside or the inside of a person. To improve your discernment as a leader: 1. Learn to hear Gods voice - Get quiet and read Scripture. Reflect on the mind of God. 2. Build problem-solving skills - If you can see root issues of problems, you can solve those difficulties. 3. Analyze your successes - What worked? Can you identify the heart of the matter? 4. Evaluate your options - Discernment involves both your gut and your head. 5. Expand your opportunities - Get more experience to help you deepen your wisdom. 6. Explore what others think - Choose leaders you admire and study how they think. 7. Listen to your gut - Most people are afraid to listen to their God-given intuition.
