Bible Verse of The Day – 7-19-19

Luke 12:54-56 (NKJV) 54 Then He also said to the multitudes, “Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming’; and so it is. 55 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, ‘There will be hot weather’; and there is. 56 Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?

Jesus was pretty direct with His reprimand of the people in these verses. He wanted them to understand the importance of discerning the times in which they were living. He deemed it important enough to scold them for not having understanding in this area.

And so it is with us, over 2,000 years later. We live in a time where technology is part of our everyday lives. We can use that to do so many things, including predicting the weather days in advance.

But, even with today’s technology, many people can’t see the times in which we are living and accurately discern the spiritual seasons.

Why?

Because understanding the spiritual seasons doesn’t require technology. It doesn’t even require intellectual adeptness. It requires a sharp and alert spirit. It requires spiritual discernment.

Spiritual discernment doesn’t come easily. It takes sincere, honest effort on our part to draw near to God and make the effort to hear Him when He speaks. We need to have eyes to see and ears to hear what His spirit is saying.

We live in perilous times. The spiritual atmosphere is very much alive and active. Warfare is taking place every minute of every day that we can only see and understand when we have sharp discernment.

Whether we see and understand it or not is up to us. We can choose to remain blind to the things that are happening, or we can ask God to give us sight, so we can accurately see and discern the times and the seasons in which we live.
