I have been overwhelmed this week by the comments on how powerful discretion has been in your thinking and your life. I call discretion, the pause that brings life. Rather than blundering through life doing what you tend to do, following your passions, or letting your impulses guide you; discretion lets you slow down and bring God into your situation. Rather than spewing hateful, hurtful, or sarcastic speech; you become quick to hear and slow to speak. Rather than deciding on that purchase because it appeals to you, you give God some time to lead you in that decision.
This has been a lifetime journey for me, because I am an impulsive person by nature. I am a person who tends to speak before he thinks. Discretion has and continues to give me a chance to grow and change.
You don't have to follow your heart, instead you can follow the Lord.
He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks wisely will be delivered. Proverbs 26:28.
