For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and
imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and
imperfect). But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the
incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and
superseded). 1 Corinthians 13:9-10
The more I age, the more I realize I simply don’t have all
of the answers to life. This is a far cry from my attitude of being a
childish and immature teenager, where I was convinced that I knew everything,
much to my parents’ amusement. I see these same tendencies in our
oldest son, who recently turned five this summer. We have had multiple
disagreements about our favorite comic book characters and he doesn’t realize
that I just may know a little more than some of the boys in his
classroom. (After all, I have been a comic book nerd for well over thirty
years now!)
We must change our attitudes and thinking from believing
that we know it all, to trusting God and living with unanswered
questions.
No matter where we are in our walk of faith, God will
continue to lead us and in doing so, He requires us to fix our eyes on Him, and
follow Him one step at a time.
