Today's readings are Proverbs 30.1-9 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Prov.+30.1-9 ), Proverbs 30.18-33 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Prov.+30.18-33 ), and John 20.1-31 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=John+20.1-31 ).
In Proverbs 30.1-4 we see some true wisdom and discernment. How often we think we are intelligent, wise and discerning but in fact we are not. The words of Agur here show us to be like a toddler toddling around saying, "Me big, no baby." As we grow in wisdom we start seeing our inability. As we grow in godliness we start seeing our sin. As we grow in grace we see that we are not gracious.
Let us thank the Lord that he grants us eyes to see the great distinction between man and God. Let us likewise thank the Lord that he is in the business of reconciling a people to himself, changed into his image.
