“Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.” David went on to say in another Psalm that such things were unattainable for him personally. What a humble man! In spite of his position, possessions, and power, he never attempted to exceed himself, intellectually or spiritually. He knew his limitations in such matters. He was not like some who are educated beyond their intelligence!
I have observed, there is nothing more frustrating for highly intelligent people than to have a hurdle so high that they are unable to clear it. And there is nothing more embarrassing than to see someone with limited knowledge dabbling in things beyond his or her reach. Therefore, let not them of high degree look down on those of a lower station in life; and let not the latter pretend to be the former.
“The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.” This is also true intellectually and Spiritually.
