There are times when I am very sure of myself. There are subjects which I have studied about which I am confident. There are other times that I impute the confidence I have in one subject to a subject in which I am not well versed.
The problem with the second position is obvious. But there is a problem with the first as well. 1 Corinthians 10:12 tells us that if we think we stand, we are probably about to fall… There is always someone who has studied more. There is always more that I can learn. There will always be holes, deficiency in the things I think I know.
If I do not acknowledge that, continually I am in danger of a fall. I need to be like Paul, in Philippians 3:15. Though I may know some, there is more to know.
