MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Topic: Obsessive Know It All
Text: Proverbs 1:1 – 9
We
can easily spot the obsessive know-it-all by the way he or she dodges all
possibility of admitting wrong. This person will use his or her knowledge to
impress others using words that people won’t understand just to have the
satisfaction of seeing them concede his or her superior knowledge. People like
this are the ones that everyone tries to avoid at social gatherings.
Know-it-all may have a great deal of knowledge, but they usually have little wisdom and do
not fear God. This is one problem with the elites and learned people in our
society. Do you have such in your neighbourhood? Solomon called this kind of
person a fool (Proverbs 1:7).
Much
of what we know has no connection to how wise we are; for example, a very
brilliant lawyer can live a foolish life. Truly wise people know their
knowledge is not complete and go to God for wisdom and more knowledge. All that
we know are gifts from God for use in serving Him and others. Therefore, we
should use our knowledge with humility.
Beloved,
we shouldn’t act like an obsessive know-it-all, even if you have a lot of
knowledge. Remember that all knowledge and wisdom come from God. We should be
humble enough and give Him the glory through the knowledge!
Food for Thought: Do you act as know-it-all? It is a spirit of pride?
Memory verse: Proverbs 1: 7
