MODESTY MAY 8TH
"But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?"I CORINTHIANS 14:6
Brilliance is not possessing knowledge. Brilliance is dispensing knowledge in a simple, applicable, and easy to follow manner. The possession of knowledge is useless. The simple communication of knowledge is brilliance. The application of knowledge is a new heaven and a new earth. The force and power of applied knowledge is beyond imagination. A temptation/test exists for students of the bible to flaunt knowledge. The temptation occurs when the disciple desires for people to lust over the disciple’s ideas about God instead of falling in love with God. Please cloak your brilliant insights about Christ with modest simplicity. By expressing thoughts modestly, you allow for others

to more easily connect with you and the truth (Jesus.) Christ’s heart in you wants to connect to others through the words, ideas, tone, and expressions He inspires through you.
Yikes! Lord help me to consistently and forever remind myself of this truth. Would your Holy Spirit bring me to a place of simplicity in every conversation. I pray that you would give me opportunities to speak in a way that causes others to fall in love with you and you alone.
