Lent Lesson 13: DISCERNMENT

Discernment - Ability to Judge whatever God has decided and done in our lives is for our own good.

He was really frustrated. He was transferred back to a different place after a year and a half in this town. He has just started to plan to buy a new house in the town. This transfer came a shock to him.

All the packing and moving really had him worried. He has to take care of his elderly parents, toddler son and pregnant wife too. After a deep thought he finally concluded everything happens for his own good and moved to the new city.

A couple of months later there were a big communal riot at the previous place and would have ended up with them being victimized. He really thanked God for bringing him safely to this new place. His family has really got acquainted with this place better than the previous one.

Whatever God has decided for us will be much much better than what we plan and decide to do for ourselves. Though it may seem clumsy in the beginning we should be wise enough to accept his decision in life and go along with it.

God never forsakes even a tiny insect. We should trust him completely and communicate our needs and concerns through prayers.
