Hi Jeanie, ((( Smiles )))
Glad it's up to God and not up to us.. To make that kind of judgement call.. To have that kind of power.. Us humans have to many off days.. And lots of regrets...
But that makes me think of... Let Discernment Safeguard You.. In Proverbs... My son, if you will recieve My words and treasure up My commandments with you, so that you attend to wisdom, you shall extend your heart to understanding. For if you cry for discernment, lifeting up your voice for understanding. If you seek her as silver, and search for her as hidden treasures; then you shall understand the fear of Jehovah, and find knowledge of God. For Jehovah gives wisdom; out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to the ones who walk in integrity, to guard the paths of judgment, and He protects the way of His saints. Then you shall understand righteousness and judgment and honesty;yea, every good path. When wisdom enters into your heart; and knowledge is pleasing to your soul; discretion shall keep you; understanding shall watch over you; To Deliver you from the evil way; from the man who speaks perverse things; thoses who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness; who rejoice to do evil..
" Thinking ability itself will keep guard over you; discernment itself will safeguard you."
When God asked Israel's King Solomon what blessing he wanted, the young ruler said: " You must give to your servant an obedient heart to judge your people, to discern between good and bad." Solomon asked for discernment, and Jehovah gave it to him to an unusual degree. { 1 Kings 3:9; 4:30 }
Discernment carries the thought of being able to grasp what is obscure. Jesus said.. When your eye is simple, your whole body is also bright.." {Luke 11:34}
