I guess I’m ok because I realize my own deficiencies.

Basically, we don’t know enough to realize how little we know. – ouch! so true yet we sure act like we know! again great thoughts and insight!

There’s so much here to sit with, Lisa.

But these words are clear enough for even a little one to understand –
‘Jesus’s advice is good for us today, too:
Don’t underestimate God’s ability to work through you.
And don’t overestimate how much you think you know.’

Amen.

OH, my! I am so grateful for reading the way Jesus spoke to us about competency for He, and only He, truly knows our abilities. This one hurt though. I am feeling rather incompetent right now. (I do like the humored photo a lot! So true!!)

Admittedly the differing cultures I’ve encountered living overseas drive me batty in the category of ‘incapacity to say ‘I don’t know’’
It’s a classic. And it has made me embrace the phrase! I appreciate the series!! Thank you

Thank you for sharing this post. “Realize your ignorance is invisible to you until you seek to become aware of it” – I’m going to bear this in mind.

This is fascinating, Lisa. In a way, it reminded me of those contestants on American Idol who used to think they were so amazing but in reality could barely carry a tune in a bucket. Your two final points (Jesus’ advice for us today) will stick with me for sure.

Stay curious! That’s what helps me (I think) with competency bias! And remembering I only know as much as I know from the information I have today. In the next hour that may change! Sometimes this thinking can get me in trouble as then I don’t anchor onto anything, though. This is when I’m grateful for solid teachings such as those by Jesus you shared. Great article, Lisa. Thank you.

I enjoyed the article. Think about what you are thinking about 😉 Pointing out that Jesus calls us to have child-likeness in our life, in order to have the faith that grows us closer to Him, and to be open to learning. I am looking to learn, through constructive criticism, how to improve my writing skills.

A very insightful article. Thanks Lisa! I especially appreciated, “Work on your meta-cognition skills. Think about your own thinking. Realize your ignorance is invisible to you until you seek to become aware of it.”
