The Forge of Spiritual Discernment
It is in the shattering of the common-place that a disciple grows. It is in the opening of unexpected paradigms a disciple ventures to higher ground.
Easter's forge had pitted an obedient man against a collectively rebellious mankind. History still proves that obedience won.
If you love Me you will obey my commandments. (John 14:15)
Whoever obeys, renounces the fulfillment of his own will. ~ J.O. Hannay
Keeping God's commands is what counts. (1 Corinthians 7:19b)
When obedience is no longer a fearful thing but a joyous offering the Christian is taken to higher ground. The forge of obedience has formed spiritual discernment.
