Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said,
“I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
you have revealed them to the childlike.
Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
(Luke 10:21)
Today, we are called to approach God not with pride or self-sufficiency, but with childlike trust. Spiritual insight is given to those who are willing to be small before God. Simplicity of ordinary people receives God’s revelation ith humility. Divine wisdom overturns human expectations. It is not attained by intellectual achievement but by openness of heart. Let us rejoice in God’s surprising wisdom, embrace humility, and treasure the privilege of knowing Christ.
Jesus emphasizes the blessedness of the disciples for witnessing His works and hearing His teachings. This reminds us to be grateful for the spiritual insights and experiences we have. Not all are blessed and privileged to receive divine revelation. Recognizing that we are blessed to receive what others longed for should inspire humility and a deeper awareness of our spiritual journey. It encourages us to be mindful of the unique opportunities we have to grow in faith.
With the privilege of receiving divine revelation comes the responsibility to share it with others. The disciples were entrusted with the message of Jesus, and we too are called to share the Good News with those around us. Reflecting on these verses can inspire us to be grateful, value divine revelations, remain humble, and take responsibility for sharing our faith.
Lord Jesus, we come before You with grateful hearts, Blessed are the eyes that see what You reveal, For many prophets and kings longed for this sight, Yet did not see, and longed to hear, yet did not hear. Thank You for the gift of Your presence, For the divine revelations You bestow upon us. Help us to cherish and value these blessings, To grow in faith and understanding each day. Grant us the humility to recognize our privilege, And the wisdom to share Your truth with others. May we always be mindful of Your grace, and live in a way that honors Your holy name. Amen.
