This recent post by Seth Godin is too short to share a snippet here, so you should take a minute to read the whole thing.

Discernment is an important thing, perhaps more important with each day that passes.  In yesterday’s reading from Jeremiah 3, God makes this promise to Israel:

And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.

It’s a good promise (because God Himself is good), and a reminder of our lack of knowledge and understanding.  And even if we have lots of knowledge, as many probably do, understanding is also a good and necessary thing.
