Sometimes I think that I know something and know it well enough to make an informed decision. That is when things tend to go really wrong. I find out that either I did not have all the necessary and correct information or that my reasoning process was faulty. We all know people who believe that they know it all and are not shy about telling others of their wisdom. Later we observe them making grievous mistakes because they did not, in fact, know it all.
Luke 10:21 says, “In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.'” God chooses to reveal Himself to those who are of humble mind and heart rather than to those who think themselves to be wise and strong. Rejoice! It is the humble who understand that they do not know it all and instead need wisdom from our Heavenly Father. It is to these people that God chooses to reveal Himself. Those who believe that they are wise reject the Lord’s wisdom and suffer the consequences.
