“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”
— Matthew 7:6 NASB1995
🛡 Discernment in the Kingdom
Jesus calls us to a generous, forgiving spirit—but also to wisdom. There are times when continued correction or offering truth to someone hostile becomes fruitless. Our love must be coupled with discernment.
The Kingdom woman must know when to speak—and when to quietly pray instead.
🏛 Ante-Nicene Example
Early believers risked their lives to proclaim truth, but they also knew not to waste the holy things of God on those who scoffed with hardened hearts. They prayed more than they preached when walls were up.
đź’ Reflect:
- Is there someone you’re trying to reach who continually mocks truth?
- What might it look like to entrust them to the Lord in prayer instead?
✨ Prayer:
Jesus, help me walk wisely. Teach me when to speak and when to be silent. Guard my words and let them glorify You. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
