My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

Discernment change direction = John 7-9
In 7:1 it says that Jesus didn't go up immediately to Judea and stayed in Galilee because He knew that the Jews wanted to kill Him and it wasn't yet His time. That discernment changed His direction. How many times do we allow discernment to change our direction? That is the reason why God gives us discernment. To change our direction. However, we often, even after being equipped with discernment fail to alter our course and move right into the foolishness God is giving us discernment about. Maybe it is our pride, maybe it is our desire for the pleasures of sin, maybe we simply are too dull and don't see the discernment when it is offered, but in the case of Jesus, He discerned something and changed His course. We too ought to allow the Spirit of God to show us the dangers on the path ahead and then change the course we take. Discernment ought to change direction.
