I've been thinking about our own place before God. We are really a lot smaller and more limited than we think. God is infinite in every way, while we really know practically nothing. It's true that man has made great progress in all areas of knowledge, discovered many "secrets" of the universe, and changed the material world for his own comfort and convenience, but that does not mean that man is getting smarter. When you play hide-and-seek and find the object, your IQ just doesn't jump higher all of a sudden. The "tragedy" is that man thinks he's now god or at least more important than ever.
All day long, you hear politicians, scientists, news commentators, celebrities,... express their own opinions. There are experts and pundits in every field now. They all love to tell you what they think and knock others in the process. They all want themselves to look good and be at the center of attention. Rampant self-importance has blinded them from seeing the presence of God. How important you feel about yourself really indicates how much you lack humility, the must-have for knowing God. Christ is our supreme example here. Pray hard for the conversion of our minds and hearts.
