So Now You Think You’re All That

Once we start thinking we are wise in our own eyes, that’s a problem. We are to think of ourselves highly but not more highly than we ought to (Romans 12:3). We have the uncultivated wisdom of God in us ready to be expressed through knowledge of the Holy One and faithful dependency on His word. God has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). As we reference the Lord, honor Him, put Him first, we position ourselves for Godly fear to rise up in us. To be wise in your own eyes but no one else’s means Houston, we have a problem with the intake valve. You’re taking in too much praise of yourself and pride has slipped through the door of your psyche. Jesus will always be the rightful star of the show because He earned it by dying for our sins, being crucified on a cross. A balance in this world is necessary for our natural human life with its activities, as well as our spiritual lives with the activities going on in that realm, which affect us in this natural one. Do not be wise in your own eyes. Reference the Lord and shun evil.
