At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way!”
“My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Matthew 11:25-30 (NLT)
God is the Master of keeping secrets. God hides some things from some people, and He reveals things to others. If God does not want you to know something, you will not know it!
If you think of yourself as wise and clever, you can be sure that there are many things that God is hiding from you! But if you are childlike, you can know for sure that God is revealing things especially to you!
Those who are "High and Mighty" in this world are the ones who are weak in the eyes of the Lord. And those who are humble and weak in this world are given knowledge from God that is too wonderful to imagine!
So what is your choice? Would you rather be wise in this world and powerless before God or a fool in the eyes of the world and stand with the Creator of everything?
Remember that God will show you things that only He knows if you humble yourself before Him.
"Lord Jesus, thank You for showing me the Father, and revealing to me things that are hidden from those who think they are wise. Only You Lord Jesus are truly wise. And may You be praised forever. Amen."
