Man, who do I think I am!

"knowledge puffs up, but love builds up"

Man, who do I think I am?!

Lately, I have been learning more about my faith. I have never gone through so much material in apologetic themes, doctrine and Theology in such a short time. I have been glued to books and articles till three in the morning sometimes. This was very exciting and the hunger to "know" continued to grow. However, during this time, I have notice the shift in attention and worship. I began to rely on myself in this journey to understand God. Meaning, I began to neglect the Lord in prayer for understanding and guidance. I started to place God's word on the back burner. The symptoms of this heart issue come from the second I didn't see Jesus as everything I need.

I Corinthians says that If I "...understand all mysteries and all knowledge...but have not love, I am nothing" This has been in my heart lately. Without the Holy Spirit I can do nothing. I pray that God will humble me to look only to Jesus as my all satisfaction and need. Only then will I be able to make good use of knowledge and understanding, and begin to call it wisdom. Amen
