Prayer Prompt before reading MT 11:25-27 Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray well, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son so that I may know who I am.
“ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE HIDDEN THESE THINGS FROM THE WISE AND THE LEARNED YOU HAVE REVEALED THEM TO THE CHILDLIKE.” MT 11:25-27
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Why has God chosen to reveal all things to the childlike (12 uneducated, hard working, as normal as they come guys)? It requires childlike trust and love to love God. The only world a young person knows until they are 18 and on their own is one protected by their parents, priests, and teachers. A child trusts without fear because they believe in you.
They don’t question (teens for a little while until reality sets in), just trust. They are innocent, kind and generous. Their love melts your heart. The Word of God does not need anyone with an ego, it needs love and someone to believe in it with complete trust (Jesus and Mary are perfect models of it). The Word of God needs people with unwavering faith, trust, and a love that will melt your heart. Not a love that expects something in return. This is where God planted the Word in Jesus and this is where it blossoms to all those who He reveals it to that read it with an open mind and heart.
Today’s challenge: Be childlike in your approach to the revealed Word of God and in prayer. Trust, believe, do not fear!
Be a servant, become a saint!
