*Discernment in the Morning! 🛡️*
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
*1 John 4:1*
In a world full of voices and opinions, this verse reminds us to pause and discern. Not every message, even those cloaked in spiritual language, aligns with God's truth. As you step into your day, let the Holy Spirit guide your discernment. Ask: Does this bring peace? Does it align with Scripture? Does it glorify Christ? Guard your heart with prayer and the Word.
Prayer: Lord, grant me wisdom to discern truth from error today.
