The Art of Discernment: Finding Wisdom in Silence

 In the cacophony of voices clamoring for attention in today's digital age, the need for discernment and thoughtful reflection has never been more crucial. John 6:41 serves as a guiding light in this journey, reminding us that we do not need to have an opinion about everything. This simple yet profound truth challenges us to reconsider the way we engage with the world and each other.

At its core, the message of John 6:41 speaks to the importance of exercising restraint and humility in our interactions. It urges us to resist the impulse to offer quick judgments or hasty opinions and instead invites us to embrace the beauty of silence. In a culture that often equates noise with significance, the act of withholding our opinions can be a radical counter-cultural statement, a declaration of our commitment to mindfulness and thoughtful engagement.

By choosing not to weigh in on every issue, we create space for deeper reflection and introspection. We allow ourselves the opportunity to listen more attentively, to consider diverse perspectives, and to approach conversations with an attitude of openness and curiosity. In doing so, we nurture the seeds of wisdom and empathy within us, cultivating a spirit of humility that paves the way for genuine connections with others.

Moreover, the practice of reserving our opinions can be an act of self-preservation and self-care. It shields us from the toxic cycle of outrage and judgment that often pervades our social interactions, offering us a reprieve from the relentless pressure to have an opinion on everything. Instead of being swept away by the tide of public discourse, we can anchor ourselves in the quiet depths of our own thoughts, finding solace and clarity in the rarefied air of contemplation.

John 6:41 calls us to embrace the power of discernment, to honor the richness of silence, and to find wisdom in the art of restraint. It invites us to step back from the frenetic pace of modern life, to savor the beauty of quiet moments, and to celebrate the profound beauty of simply being. In a world that constantly demands our attention and our input, may we find strength in the grace of silence and the beauty of thoughtful reflection.

In conclusion, IT is okay if you don't give an opinion on every matter placed before you I believe you should try to get a rounded knowledge about a matter before you give an opinion on it.

Finding a wife

Many times I see young men, young spiritual men saying that God will bring the a wife to them but they are not working actively in the will of God. they are not doing the father's business. how do they now expect God to go about searching for a wife for them when they are not doing the father's business.  Dear young man if you want to work according to the order of Adam then you must know that Adam was doing the father's business as was Isaac, you must actively work according to the father's will I don't just mean God Almighty as our father. Any father you have if you are focused on doing his will he will find you a wife one way or the other except he's not living according to the pattern of fatherhood. A father finds you a wife, if you don't have a father then ask the Father but know dear young man that you find the best wife when you let the father find you a wife. amen.

Studying Rightly

Hello guys, 2Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Did you know that for years I have read this chapter and only related it to spiritual things?  I took it to mean that by studying God's word and the life of heroes of faith I do prove my love for God, and I was right.  It's just that this passage meant a lot more than just studying Spiritual stuff, the truth is that it applies to every part of our lives, spiritual, intellectual, academic, marital, psychological, and even physical aspects.  Putting it simply if people see that you have more knowledge or wisdom on all subject matters they respect you and admire you for it and they are already respecting and admiring God your maker indirectly.  They will try to find the source of your unique depth of knowledge, wisdom, charisma or whatever it is they find attractive about you at that point you can easily tell them it's all
