The other day someone told me that a certain person knew a certain subject very well. It turned out that I was also well-versed in that subject. My first reaction was to downgrade that person, thinking surely that I knew better. Then I realized that how petty, unchristian my thoughts were. I didn't even know the person! Why should I even be affected in any way?? Maybe he is more knowledgeable than I, then praise God. It's that ugly ego acting up again!
Anyway, how good it is to have the Holy Spirit point out our sins? Without his guidance, we'd be living in darkness. We need to pray constantly for God's mercy on us. Rejoice that the moment we humble ourselves before God, he exalts us.
