“For I know nothing by myself: yet am I not hereby justified:but he that judgeth me is the Lord” (1 Corinthians 4:4).


Note:
Wise men know that they do not know enough. They are aware of their lack and usually do everything they could to increase their knowledge. Only fools and proud people boast about their little knowledge. It is said that he who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student, train him. But he who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool, leave him.

Challenge: Empty barrels make much noise. see your emptiness, so you can receive the fullness of God's grace.
