Proverbs 3:7-8
"Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones."
God calls us to not be wise
in our own eyes. Now, everyone thinks they are right about whatever opinion it
may be. The point isn’t to think you are probably wrong, but to not think of
yourself more highly than you ought. To consider others above yourself. There
is a way of being unteachable, not willing to consider or seek the counsel of
others – "that wouldn’t be worth it, they aren’t as wise as me," is what we’re
thinking deep down. This is an evil before God, and we must depart from evil.
Humility brings health. Submission brings strength.
