"Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil." (Proverbs 03:07)
When I was a child back on the farm I used to hear the grownups talking about someone saying, "he is too smart for his own good". They, of course, meant that the person thought they were smarter than they really were. The problem is that old enemy pride. When you get to thinking how great you are you are about to take a fall. The Lord promises it! Rather, we should be wise and humble. This proverb is just good basic advice. Be humble, fear the Lord, and keep away from evil. Setting your mind on following this simple advice will keep you out of trouble, will keep you dependent upon the Lord, and will gain you the respect and favor of those around you. Do it!
