True discernment finds what is good, pure, lovely.
Discernment is looking for what’s good, not for what’s evil. It comes from a dox doxmazo is the word and it comes from the concept of what is pleasing.
So you’re looking for what is pleasing, not what is putrid. So a godly leader’s desire for integrity is a longing to both walk and think in the way of Jesus.
Integrity in our thoughts is a tether that keeps us from wandering into cul de sacs of depression of evil thinking, suspicion, criticism whether it’s about us or other people. We have a default that it’s called Holy Spirit.
