One of the most fascinating human organs is the brain.  The brain weighs around 3 lbs, it’s just under 6 inches long, and it makes up 2% of a human’s body weight.  The brain is really a tiny part of our anatomy when defined by size and weight, yet we tend to think our brains are larger than they really are.  Ever meet someone who thought this—a know it all?  Some people seem to think their brains are larger than they really are.  They think they know everything.  They are more than happy to expound on various tidbits of facts and knowledge that they’ve acquired.  But they think they’re smarter than they actually are.  They think they know more than they actually do.  They might even think that they know better than you do.  We refer to these people as having a big head.  We say they’re egotistical or conceited, because it’s as if they think their brain is larger than life. 

Though this is true in our physical lives, sometimes this phenomenon can happen spiritual as well.  Just like a know it all thinks they know more than you, sometimes we can be spiritual know it all’s who think we know more than God.  We acknowledge that God has a perfect will and a perfect plan, but we want to run it.  And just like a know it all has a big head, we can get big heads spiritually as well.  We can be guilting of thinking that our brains are larger than they really are, and we think we know better than God.  But you cannot know better than God.  You can never know better than God when it comes to running our lives.  That’s our big idea today:

Big Idea: You cannot know better than God
