I find the more wisdom and knowledge that I gain, showed me clearly how limitless wisdom and knowledge are. If there is a sea of wisdom and a sea of knowledge and I put one hand in the sea of wisdom and the other hand in the sea of knowledge and then pull them both out, how much more is left to learn but two whole seas of knowledge and wisdom. My mind is looking at the impossibility to know all things in my lifetime. I will only come to know a fraction of it during my life. I never wanted to be a ignorant man or a unwise one but when I look at both the vast seas of wisdom and knowledge, I feel I am lacking in both wisdom and knowledge.
I stand before God and the universe as a humble man knowing very little in what God knows. How small will I feel when I will stand before my maker? I want to believe I am smart and wise but when I look up toward heaven I feel like a little man standing upon a immense world created by an immeasurable God. In all of my knowledge and wisdom all I can do is to kneel down and give reverence to God.
I will keep on trying to learn so to have knowledge and wisdom but I will not become arrogant and prideful in doing so. How can one be arrogant when standing before the seas of wisdom and knowledge? How can any mortal man that does not have limitless knowledge and wisdom and have only a limited amount of time to live and to learn thinking himself to be equal to an immortal all knowing God. Is this not insanity? This man who may think himself as a God because he has a mountain of gold. He maybe able to stack his money as high has the moon but he is not God nor will he ever be. He is just a man with a limited amount of knowledge and wisdom who will die one day and be no more.
The more wiser and knowledgeable I have become the more resistant I am becoming to learn anything more. I use to want to know everything but now if someone wants to tell me something I just say I do not want to know. The sea of knowledge and wisdom is great and I do want to learn but I refuse to drown in it. I am starting to enjoy the simple things in life that requires less thinking and more enjoying. My mind has always been in a mode to understand and learn but I think my mind needs some quiet time and just enjoy the things that are around me.
I give praise, honor and worship to God. I stand humble before him for his knowledge and wisdom is far beyond my own. What I really want to know is more about God and how does he want us to live our lives? God is our future and I want to know all about him. Yes, I do want to keep on learning so to have knowledge and wisdom about God's love and the joy that it brings.
