SON-light

Paul prayed that "our love would abound more and more unto a full knowledge and depth of insight so that we will approve things that are EXCELLENT in order that we might be sincere (living in full SONlight) and not stumble unto the day of Christ, having been filled with the fruit of righteousness." 

Spiritual discernment goes beyond distinguishing between the good and bad - true insight discerns the difference between the good and BEST! 

What is good for the soul is not necessarily best for the spirit. Provisions appealing the flesh may actually be grievous to the spirit. FULL Sonlight will clarify the true fruit of the light - those things that consist of "goodness, righteousness, and truth." 

Beware the carnal corruption hidden in the shadows. All of us have put on an article of clothing in low light settings only to see the large stain later on once we came into greater lighting. 

Paul realizes that we can inadvertently corrupt ourselves by lack of sound discernment. Our own choices can pollute our spirit by feeding our flesh. If we are to make NO PROVISION for the flesh, we will profit greatly to learn that some FOOD FOR THE SOUL is SOUR TO THE SPIRIT. 

We have been given a RESPONSIBLE LIBERTY - and it is our responsibility to exercise our liberty not for an occasion to the flesh but as an opportunity to serve others. We are never free to feed our flesh. Lusts cry out for our attention, but serving our lusts is slavery - NOT FREEDOM!
