7. DWELLING ON THE "WORST CASE" SCENARIO. As one who recognizes the validity and importance of spiritual gifts, one of my dominate gifts is discernment.
It can be a positive gift when God’s
in control of my life. However, when I try to take control, discernment can lead me towards sin. The sin I’m referring to is called worry or anxiety. I’ve wasted way too much time
worrying about challenges or problems that never happened. It has been said that "85% of what we worry about never happens." Man, with odds like these who can loose. Personally, this is an area of vulnerability. What’s yours?

What’s up Bishop? I’m with you on the whole anxiety issue. Discernment is a spiritual gift of mine as well. However, for me, an area of vulnerability (which I think I’m really just starting to understand and get under control) is acting way too soon. God usually communicates with either a yes, no, or a not now. I think in my past I’ve always acted so fast on those “not nows.” I did it because it seemed like the right time and it felt good. But in retrospect, it got me no where and gave me way too many gray hairs to be just 26.
Now, I do as Asagai instructed Benethea…I just sit a while and think.
