Watching a recent episode of \u201cPoker Face\u201d on Peacock, the heroine picked up a hitchhiker in the mountains. Throughout the entire episode, her car companion kept stealing her wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Discernment means the ability to judge well. Applying sound judgment to financial decisions means taking emotion from the equation, objectively analyzing the situation, and seeking wise counsel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Christ\u2019s followers, God calls us to help those in need. Unfortunately, scammers often portray themselves as needy. In today\u2019s world, they have more ways than ever to scam honest people out of their funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before helping strangers, take time to do the research and gain as much information as possible. Use the tools God gives us to apply discernment in financial decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, forgive us for making pledges without considering the consequences. Please help us apply discernment to all aspects of our lives, making the best decisions with Your assistance. IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One minute read.
