Not very wise

I have a philosophy that has developed from working with youth for years, as well as the fact that I lived this exact same philosophy. My philosophy is that between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five, you KNOW EVERYTHING. I mean, there is NOTHING that anyone can tell you, NOTHING that anyone can show you, NOTHING that any adult can teach you. You know everything.

Yet, something happens around twenty-five and you wake up one morning and realize that your parents have certainly gotten a lot smarter in the last eight or nine years. No, you begin to realize that you are not as smart as you thought; you are not as wise as you gave yourself credit for.

Today's word is Isaiah 5:21, NIV, which reads, "Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight."

It is those who think they KNOW everything that truly bothers those of us who really do. Just kidding of course. It is those who think they KNOW everything who truly know NOTHING. I know and have known some really intelligent people, people who are twenty times more intelligent than I could ever be. However, they are wise in their own eyes. If you don't know JESUS, you truly do know NOTHING.

May GOD help us all to seek His wisdom and discernment; He knows I need it. For it is when I decide that I am smart enough to determine these things myself that I find out just how little I truly know, and that is not very wise.

Be Blessed,
