It is vital as believers that we learn to discern. We need to acquire wisdom so we can walk in truth. Wisdom is word based and God given. We learn it from the word of God and ultimately from the God who gave us the Word.

My prayer had turned into what I used to call on Hee Haw, Lulu's never-ending shopping list. You remember that old sketch, just going on and on, asking for this and that, never stopping to be grateful. And there I was, doing the exact same thing. Ask, ask, ask. Want, want, want. It got me thinking. If you sit down and try to count the things you do not have, that list is practically infinite. You don't have a mansion. You don't have a yacht.
