What do I know?
"And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know." I Cor. 8:2 When I read this scripture it makes me think of the times when I think I know the answer, when all seems clear. Could it be at those times that I am the furthest from really knowing? The journey that I have been on for the last four years has not been easy but it has been good. I have found that the more I know the less I know. Is there anything that we can really know for sure? "For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." I Cor. 2:2 Maybe that is really all we need to know. "but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD." Jer. 9:24 I would like to say that I can boast in that, but the truth is I still have so much to learn. God is so much bigger and better than I can imagine or think. His mercy cleanses better than water. His justice purifies better than fire. His wisdom goes beyond all comprehension. What do I know? That He is good. That He knows best. That He is more concerned about our character than our comfort or success and that makes Him a wonderful father.
