I know what I know

This reflection explores a moment when the speaker felt frustrated that young adults were dismissing advice, which initially triggered feelings of pride and a bruised ego. After reflecting, the author realized that just as those young adults rely on their limited experience, adults can also assume they know enough—especially when it comes to listening to God. A conversation with an older friend who claimed to be “spiritual but not religious” further highlighted how people often rely on their own understanding instead of seeking deeper wisdom. This realization reminded the author that everyone, regardless of age, can fall into the trap of thinking they already know enough. Drawing on biblical wisdom, the author emphasizes the importance of humility, curiosity, and a teachable spirit before God. The message encourages listeners to approach life with openness, allowing Jesus to be the ultimate teacher who continually guides and shapes our understanding.
