Walking with biblical discretion means moving with wisdom, intentionality, and grace, especially when handling sensitive situations or using the gifts God has given us.
In season 2, episode 31, of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, I share how Jesus doesn’t just care what we do—He cares how we do it. Through Proverbs, the temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4, and stories from Acts, we explore how to respond with the right spirit, make creative Spirit-led decisions, and protect the treasure God has placed inside of us.
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
Matthew 10:16 – “Wise as serpents, harmless as doves.”
Proverbs 1:4; 2:11; 3:21–22; 5:1–2; 11:22; 19:11 – Wisdom and discretion.
Matthew 4:1–11 – Jesus resists temptation with the Word.
Luke 16:1–8 – The shrewd manager.
Acts 9:25 – Paul lowered in a basket to escape danger.
✨ In this episode:
-What biblical discretion really means
-How Jesus modeled wisdom in responding to the enemy
-Why God cares about how we steward our gifts
-How to think outside the box in ministry and life
-Protecting your calling from the enemy’s schemes
Discretion is a kingdom strategy. It’s not about hiding—it’s about moving with purpose, grace, and divine timing.
