Devotional: Fire, Judgment, Truth and Ugency for Now.

Day 3 – Discern the Times

Read: Luke 12:54–56; Psalm 82

“You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don't know how to interpret this present time?” – Luke 12:56

“How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?” – Psalm 82:2

Observation:

Jesus calls out a dangerous spiritual blindness: people could predict the weather, but couldn’t see the signs of God’s movement in their time.

Psalm 82 highlights the failure of leaders to uphold justice — they were called “gods” because of their authority, yet they abused it. They should’ve discerned the times and acted justly, but they were corrupt and blind.

Jesus invites us to recognize the moment — not just politically or culturally, but spiritually.

Challenge:

Are you aware of what God is doing in this generation? Are you spiritually awake, or distracted by the world’s noise?

Prayer:

Father, open my eyes to the times I live in.

Awaken me from apathy.

Help me walk in Your justice and see with Your wisdom.

Amen.
