Have you ever felt completely outmatched in a conversation with someone?

I’ve experienced this many times in my life. I get into a conversation with someone who clearly knows far more about a topic than I do. Every time I try to question something they say, they have an answer as to why they are right and my question was ill-conceived. I don’t mean they are arrogant about it. It’s more like a very young child trying to question what their parent tells them.

How do you handle a situation like that?

For me, sometimes I’ve handled these conversations well, and other times not so much. Ultimately, I think the wise way to handle these situations is with humility and curiosity. There are lots of things I don’t know, but if I humble myself, listen, and ask questions, I can learn.

The depth of God’s wisdom and knowledge is unfathomable.

He knows and understands all things. In fact, all things exist because of and for God. Thus it says,

• From Him – All things were and are created by God. He is the source. So, he knows about all things as their creator.
• Through Him – All things continue through God. He sustains all things. It is through Him that we live and through Him that we have new life in Christ. He understands all things as He sustains and blesses them.
• To Him – All things exist for God’s pleasure and His good purpose. We and all of creation exist to show God’s glory, including Him showing us great grace and mercy. God’s wisdom is shown both in what He has created and its purpose.

To him be the glory forever! Amen.

That is our response. We humbly accept that God’s knowledge and wisdom are much greater than our own. So, we submit to His wisdom and praise His name!

In His wisdom, He has made us and sustains us. In His wisdom, He has saved us and given us new life. In His wisdom, He will bring us to be with Him. Hallelujah! Amen!!

Heavenly Father,

I am forever amazed at Your knowledge and wisdom. I pray that I would always be humble before You, trusting Your wisdom and glorifying Your name.

Amen.

Let’s praise His name together tomorrow in worship!!
