Thought of the Day May 23, 2025 The Gift of Right Judgment

By 10:08 AM

 As the Gift of Wisdom enables us to perceive what is in the mind of God, and the Gift of Knowledge helps us to be aware of what is good and right, and the Gift of Understanding helps us to comprehend what we come to know by grace, the Gift of Right Judgment or Counsel enables us to make the right decision, to choose that which is good, perfect and true. The intellect is moved by Knowledge and Understanding. The will is moved by Right Judgment. Each gift is a grace from God allowing us to walk in the way of the Lord, growing in relationship with him. When the early Church was confronted between those who saw Baptism as the means of salvation and those who insisted on circumcision and the Mosaic Laws, the Apostles prayed for wisdom, knowledge and understanding and came to the right judgement validating Baptism as the means of salvation. They concluded: "It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and us."  Pray to follow the same process with the same gifts in the decision you make, effecting your relationship with God.
