“The Other Smart Ones” by Kirk Hunt
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2 Timothy 2:2 KJV
Prayerfully, when you walk into the room, the average IQ goes up. Scripture is full of references to men and women of intelligence, wit and wisdom. In fact, there are instructions, in Scripture, on how to become smarter and wiser.
Clearly, God wants His people to be among the best and the brightest. Scripture is also very clear. Being among the smart ones doesn’t mean you are the only smart one.
Smarts is also different from integrity or faithfulness. Judas is traditionally the best educated of the Disciples. Solomon ended as an idolater.
Never assume you’re the only smart one in the room. Always assume that God has another clever and faithful soul near by. Reach out to the other smart saints in the room.
Somewhere, near by, are men and women who can help you expand God’s Kingdom. Ask graciously. Equip generously.
You aren’t the only smart saint in the room. Reach out. Then, reach up. Thank God, you aren’t the only smart one in the room.
Think: There are other saints capable of building the Kingdom.
Pray: “Lord, help me enable and equip others to build Your Kingdom.”

That is good news. I except it, I am not the only smart one in the room. I will reach out to others to help me build the Kingdom.
Too often we shoulder the load alone, needlessly. Almost always, it’s a sign of humility and maturity when we ask others for help.
