Just Listening

I have this bad habit of thinking I know everything. I consider myself appropriately knowledgeable about life, and especially the Bible. And as far as actual knowledge goes, like where certain verses are, and what certain verses say, I'm absolutely right. But God's been reminding me that I don't know it all. In the Bible study I'm doing, we're studying John, and whenever the leaders, Abby and Kayley ask questions, I always think I have the answer. But I have yet to say anything. And when I listen, instead of speak, the other girls have some great answers. And Kayley made a point, the other night, there isn't necessarily one right answer. We don't know the answers to a lot of these questions, and letting us talk out what we think it means is really cool. And most of all, it's humbling. I don't know everything, and I need to open up my mind, and my heart, and look at this with the eyes of a beginner, I think. The song "Word of God Speak" by MercyMe is great, and reminds me of this. It says, "I'm finding myself/at a loss for words/and the funny thing is/it's okay./The last thing I need/is to be heard,/but to hear/what You would say." It goes on, and it's an absolutely beautiful song, but I'm reminded of that part whenever I think about Bible study.

Thanks!! Sorry I know, it's not as easy to read as normal. I tend to be a little confusing when I'm tired, and I'm exhausted at the moment. My roommate was up basically all night with the light on... Anyway, sorry everyone!!
