Daily Word: Are you blocking your blessing?

One thing that can block us from hearing a word from God is "us." Our own knowledge can lull us into thinking we have sufficient wisdom to meet any challenge. We allow our so-called wisdom to delude us into thinking that we should take on the role of teacher rather than student. Believing we know it all causes us to evaluate the shortcomings of others, yet be unaware of how much growth is still required in us! It's been said that "a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous." Knowledge can easily lead to pride and pride impedes us from seeking God. We begin to feel as though we already know what God is thinking, so we don't look to Him for guidance. We think we don't need Him because we know what's best. And that can be a very costly mistake. Do not allow the limited knowledge you have now to blind you to the great truths God still wants to reveal to you.


Luke 10:24: "For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it...and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it."
