God doesn’t measure our worth based on how much scripture we can memorize or how well we can debate others. He desires us to approach Him with childlike curiosity, driven by deep love rather than a mere need for understanding. While growing in knowledge can be fruitful, 1 Corinthians 8:1 reminds us that “knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.” May we never become dependent on intellectual understanding, but always be filled with wonder and awe of His greatness which fuels our love.
