There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. Proverbs 14:12 

  

Discernment – (In Christian contexts) is the perception in the absence of judgement with a view of obtaining spiritual guidance and understanding. 

  

1 Kings 3:5-6 


At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”  Solomon answered, “You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day.” 

 

1 Kings 3:9a 


So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. 

 

1 Kings 3:10-12a 


The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this.  So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart.”

 

Proverbs 14:33 


Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning and even among fools she lets herself be known. 

 

Proverbs 17:24 


A discerning person keeps wisdom in view, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth. 

 

Hebrews 5:14: mature people can train their senses through practice to discern good from evil.   

         

Proverbs 8:8-9: discerning people recognize the value of God's Word. 

 

God’s word > Discernment > Wisdom > God’s word > Discernment > Wisdom  

 

Infallible – incapable of making mistakes or being wrong.
