Knowledge

Scripture: 1 As to the concern of eating food dedicated to idols: we know that all of us have knowledge , but knowledge can be risky. Knowledge promotes overconfidence and worse arrogance, but charity of the heart (love, that is) looks to build up others. 2 Just because a person presumes to have some bit of knowledge, that person doesn’t necessarily have the right kind of knowledge. 3 But if someone loves God, it is certain that God has already known that one. (1 Corinthians 8:1-3 The Voice) In the world we now live in, we don’t have the need to be concerned about food that has been offered to idols. We might have other things that can be stumbling blocks to others; especially new believers that we should be careful about. Knowledge in itself can be something that can easily become an issue if it causes us to become overconfident or arrogant. Those attitudes in themselves can become stumbling blocks. Father God, I want my life to be an example of love and goodness. I do not want to think of myself as being better than others in the things I believe. This is not always easy, but it is my desire. AMEN Happy indeed are those whose God is the Lord. Even though I am a mere human, Lord, You notice me, and I find refuge in You. Psalm 144
