The Great Know it All

Dear Diary,

Last week was quite busy I wasn’t able to do much write up, but my 40 Day #Zip_It_Challenge continues. Here is what I learned last week on my Day 9.

#The_Great_Know_it_All

#Shut_Down_the_Motormouth

Know-it-all! Ha ha ha, I know in your mind you might have someone you consider a know-it-all. I can sense the annoyance.

Know-it-alls are those irritating human beings who behave like they are authorities on every topic. When engaging in a conversation with a know it all, you are likely to find yourself deeply frustrated and helpless. Most times know-it-alls are unteachable. I know most people can’t stand a know-it-all. Well, don’t work yourself up #BoraUhai.

Well, I’d like to introduce you to a different Know-it-All. Actually a conversation with Him is life changing not frustrating. Psalm 139:1-4 tells us about the Great Know-it-All. He knows us perfectly well. He knows when we sit down and when we rise. He perceives our thoughts from a far; He discerns our going out and laying down. He is familiar with all our ways and before a word is on our tongues He knows it completely!

How do I even begin to express this! Yaani, God not only knows my outward habits and actions, He’s familiar with my inward thoughts, motives, desires, and fears. He is acquainted with my day to day hustles and bustles. He knows the thoughts am mulling in my mind. He completely knows the words that have formed in my mind long before they leak out from my lips and/or fingers.

So what? Because the Great Know-it-All knows me well, I pray that He’ll set a guard over my mouth and keep watch over the door of my lips, Psalm 141:3. I will intentionally align my thoughts with God’s word for a better chance to have a wholesome and humble speech.

Regards,
