The Greek word for "discern" was used to describe the process of testing metals, such as gold ore and coins, to find out what they were worth. There is gold, and then there is "fool's gold." It looks like gold to the naked eye, but it isn't, and it's not worth anything. Too many Christians settle for "fool's gold" in the choices they make.
Paul prays that the Philippians would have god-given discernment that they would continually make wise choices in life.
so that you may be able to discern what is best... Philippians 1:10a
Give us the discernment O Lord!
