1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Knowitall, not a real word, but we use the term as if it were a proper noun. Does anyone really enjoy a know-it-all? You cannot tell them anything, they already know it all. The conversation is totally one sided, so why be in it at all!
There is one knowitall I love and will not live without. You guessed it, the Spirit of Truth, God Himself, the Holy Spirit. Unlike the human form of know-it-alls, He is not pushy, vain, or rude. I never get tired of listening to Him because He is loving, kind, and full of grace.
Unlike human know-it-alls, He will not share all He knows if asked. If I ask a question for which the answer has any implication of harm to anyone, even myself, He will tell me that it is not for me to know. I can live with that because I know He loves me.
Too wonderful is the answer to 1 Corinthians 2:9, just too wonderful. If we had the answer to that, what would we do with that knowledge? We are human, we would misuse it of course. We would cause damage to the Kingdom.
We don’t have to have all the answers. We need only trust in the One who does.
When I was younger, I thought I had a handle on this verse–1Cor. 2:9–could expound on it quite lengthy. I found out that, the older I got, the less I knew about it. I began to realize that the “natural man” cannot understand the things of God because they are “spiritually discerned”! This brought me from a “knowitall” to finding out that “I know nothing”. Just MY personal experience.
