The Key Word Is 'Revelation'

August 30

"...that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory,
may give to you the spirit of wisdom
and REVELATION in the knowledge of him,
the eyes of your understanding
being ENLIGHTENED, that you may know
what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches
of the glory of his inheritance in the saints..."
Ephesians 1:17-18

It does not come by human reasoning, it can only come by revelation. If you've tried to understand God or to understand his Word and find you cannot, there is a reason for that. You are trying to do with your human resources what only the Spirit of God can do.

It's all about REVELATION.

Jesus asked his followers, “who do you say that I am?"
Matthew 16:15

Simon Peter answered the Lord saying, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Then the Lord answered him:

"'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for
FLESH AND BLOOD HAS NOT REVEALED THIS TO YOU
but my Father who is in heaven.'"
Matthew 16:17

ASK the Lord to REVEAL his Word to you. What you do not understand, set aside for now. Let him reveal himself and his Word to you as you prayerfully read it (the Bible) daily. He WILL reveal it, gradually more and more, as you sit before him. Put the time in. It's worth it. It's beyond worth it.

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ASK of God,
who gives to all liberally and without reproach,
and it WILL be given to him."
James 1:5

This is a great promise in the Word of God. Receive it, meditate on it, believe it, and he will do the rest.
