Know-it-alls are annoying! Kids are often know-it-alls and their school teachers and friends can hardly stand it. But you want to know what's worse: an adult know-it-all!
"He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding." Proverbs 15:32
This verse is often used by parents teaching their children the Biblical importance of following instruction from God, and from the parents God has given them. However, we often stop applying this principle after childhood. We grow up and become our own boss because we don't have Mama and Daddy calling the shots anymore.
We open the door for the enemy when we accept the lie that we have learned all we need to know and we can venture out without God.
The second part of this verse shows us that when we heed God's instruction and guidance we will continuously grow in our knowledge of Him. God will give wisdom and discernment to those who ask for it.
Yep, its that easy.
