Teach me good discernment and knowledge, For I believe in Your commandments.  Psalms 119:66 NASB

Holy Spirit offers us the gift of discernment to see opportunities to bring more people into His kingdom. God does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked. He wants all people to come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved. We are carriers of the truth until Jesus returns.

As we approach Christmas, remember that Jesus is our Good Shepherd and in Him we find provision, eternal life, and the promise that no one can snatch us from the safety of His care. Just as a shepherd can’t care for His flock from a distance, Jesus is always by our side. Let’s listen for His voice, having full confidence that He is close, and that He leads us to good pastures.
