1 Samuel 2:1-3

1 Passage: 1 Samuel 2:1-3

1 Verse: Verse 3. "Boast no more so very proudly, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the LORD is a God of knowledge, And with Him actions are weighed."

1 Prayer: Father, You are a God of knowledge. And we are people of very limited vision and understanding and comprehension. Thank You for revealing Yourself to us as much as You have, but please forgive us for arrogantly boasting about how well we know You and Your will. We ask and pray -- and rightly so -- that we would grow in knowledge, but even to that there is a limit. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. Father, please help our growth in love match our gains in knowledge. And let our loving actions and kind deeds and merciful gestures outnumber our proud pronouncements of truth. You are the judge, not us. Yet we so often use our knowledge as a sledge to hammer over the heads of those who need love at least as much if not more than they need to know whatever truth we might be craving to tell them -- that they are lost, or sinful, or mistaken, or wrong . . .
