Discretion

Today's Proverb - "Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion." Proverbs 11:22/NIV

What a visual, eh? A gold ring in a pig's snout? That's hilarious and makes quite the point, doesn't it? I know you've heard, "discretion is the better part of valor." One typically associates that quote with men or rather, I did.

What we can not do is forget we must be righteous and use discretion. It may be thought that having a disrete extramarital relationship is better than being indiscrete about it. That's totally missing the meaning of this Proverb. Above all things, we are to be holy and sin not. We must not only be discrete where our actions are concerned but also with our conversations. It is best to remain silent in some situations than to speak. We are using discretion when we refrain from utterances even though we are in disagreement, eager to respond, have an opinion or being prodded to speak.

What will it profit us to gain the whole world by getting our point across and lose our soul? The precious Holy Spirit is our guide in all things. If we permit His will to be done in our lives, forsaking our own, we will experience more of our Father's love for us!

Happy Friday! Enjoy a lovely weekend! I'll be at the conference tonight to hear Bishop Eddie Long's message from the Lord. There will be standing room only! Our sanctuary seats 5,000. The Lord's House will be packed!

I'll intercede on your behalf. Keep us in your prayers.

Blessings!
