Oh, this one is one I struggle with! I like knowing (and sharing my knowledge). But you’re so right. When we think we know it all, we don’t have a teachable spirit.

I’ve often wondered why it seems so hard to say “I don’t know” but I guess it boils down to pride. And yet nobody likes a know-it-all and none of us do know it all anyway! Being able to admit that I don’t know is something I’ve been working on for most of my life, I think!

When I was in nursing school there was an entire class devoted to defining professionalism. What it boiled down to was the ability to say, “I don’t know.” I’ve always remembered that.

I used to think when I realized “I don’t know” – that I was behind! Then I’d start kicking myself because, well, “I should have known.” Until God helped me realize that when I realize “I don’t know” – that’s just when class is starting! I’m right on time! It’s been liberating!

So much truth in this statement. Thank you!
When we’re uncertain, we’re more teachable, more tolerant, and more adaptable. In our uncertainty, we give God something to work with.

It is a humbling thing to say, but necessary if we want to grow and learn in an area where we really don’t know anything.

It’s a ghost thing to learn to say. Then help the other person find an answer!

There is something freeing about being able to say “I don’t know.” After all, God didn’t create us to understand everything, but to have faith that all will be well.
Blessings, Lisa!
