I consider myself to be quite intelligent. I am also not very smart. Let me explain. I know a good amount, but really how much do I use on a daily basis. And, how much do I claim to know without the benefit of true understanding.
“3’Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.” – Job 42:3 (ESV)
Job confesses to God that he may know some things, but his understanding of them is limited. Here he begins the act of repenting for his lack of understanding and sets the stage for seeking that understanding.
I have been writing for almost 4 years and where I have learned much, I still have so much more to learn. I have gained so much, yet have so much more to gain. I have explored much, and yet there is so much more to explore. I am in a place where I need to be humbled so that I can learn and that humbling may have just started this morning as I have read “Job’s Confession and Repentance”.
How much more have I to learn? How much more have I to understand?
What about you, what have you learned lately? Have you expanded your understanding of what you learned? Are you in a place to confess and continue learning to understand?
