REJOICING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

August 5

eloved suppose you do not have a very high intelligence. Suppose you have not completed education very much? Where does that leave you? It is well for you to be humble and make use of others to help teach you good language and intelligence. There is no glory in ignorance. However, above all, your Father in Heaven through His Holy Spirit lives inside you and is the wisest, most knowledgeable person in all existence! This should be comforting to you. However, if you resent others who have good knowledge, this is sin to you! Instead, learn and grow in knowledge of the world, but mostly grow in your knowledge of the Lord. This is good for you. If you lack knowledge pray: "Father, I have reached the end of what I know or can do about this specific situation. I pray for your help and wisdom to be added to me!" Will this help? Of course, it will. When you acknowledge Him, He will make clear the paths, directions and knowledge that you need to understand and do whatever is necessary for you. He may even give you a spouse with much knowledge. Do not be jealous, or think of yourself as inferior to this life mate. Rest comfortably in the thought that you are blessed with someone in the family who has strong knowledge and intelligence! It will be used to bless you and the other members of your family! If you seem to have more intelligence than your mate, and if you resent them for their lack of knowledge, then you are in sin! You are arrogant and prideful and need to be humbled before God. There are talents in abundance in the lives of your loved ones that stretch far beyond earthly knowledge. Rejoice that God has given talents and gifts to those of your household to be used in the service of the King Jesus! And remember, you are greatly loved by your Father!

Prayer

---

Father, I thank you that you know best on all matters. Thank you for earthly knowledge and intelligence. I will not lord over others with any special knowledge that you have given me. Also, I will not allow my lack of knowledge to condemn me in serving you and your people. Keep me humble in your sight! I will love and encourage others who need to grow in the knowledge of the world and of you. I will do so in Jesus' name, amen!
