Proverbs 1:7 NLT
One of the most annoying types of people is a know-it-all person, male or female: teachers and politicians are two types of people that come to my mind right away.
But don't get me wrong, because ANY person can fit the description of a know-it-all person, especially if they DON'T know who the Living God is.
This type of person always has a dogmatic opinion about everything, and he or she is always closed to anything new.
I meet these type of people all of the time, but you can't let them get the best of you.
It makes me wonder how they can know or learn anything in life. I guess that's why God has to deal with them like He did to the Early Patriarchs, like Jonah or Abraham or David, and we're no exception.
Solomon calls this kind of person a fool, because they resent discipline, and refuse to learn, thus we learn NOTHING because we know-it-all.
Therefore, don't be a know-it-all. Instead, be open to the advice of others, especially those who know you well and can give you valuable insight and counsel.
Those who are in business have learned this lesson already, because if they don't know how to do something to promote their business an bring in more profits, they bring in experts to school management team on how to do it.
So God's Word to us is, "Learn wisdom and discipline, otherwise you'll be the FOOL."
Remember, only God knows it all.
