Reject Being a Know-it-All

Speaker : Brandon Risch

Topic : Wisdom , Humility

Proverbs 30 offers a profound reflection on the wisdom and humility needed to understand God's truth.

In this passage, the author (Agur) invites us to embrace a humble heart, recognizing our limitations and fully relying on the flawless and protective truth of God's word.

The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The pronouncement.  , The man’s oration to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:  I am more stupid than any other person,  and I lack a human’s ability to understand.  I have not gained wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.  Who has gone up to heaven and come down?  Who has gathered the wind in his hands? Who has bound up the waters in a cloak?  Who has established all the ends of the earth?  What is his name, and what is the name of his son — if you know?  Every word of God is pure;  , he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.  Don’t add to his words,  or he will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.
There is a generation that curses its father and does not bless its mother.  There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,  yet is not washed from its filth. There is a generation — how haughty its eyes and pretentious its looks.  There is a generation whose teeth are swords,  whose fangs are knives,  devouring the oppressed from the land  and the needy from among mankind.
