July 7th Bible Reading: Luke 19-21

Luke 19:41-42

And when He drew near and saw the city, He wept over it saying, "Would that even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes!"

This passage really struck me because earlier today my pastor sermon on what we should we pray for. Though he was using verses from Ephesians, this verse references a similar idea, the idea of God hiding and reveling that which is unknown.

In his letter, Paul was praying that the Ephesian Christians would receive revelation in the knowledge of God. He was not only praying this for the unsaved, but the believers as well.

Spiritual truth is not perceived by the physical senses, though it may feel that way, but in the spiritual realm. We need to be diligently and fervently praying that the Lord continues to speak to us though His Word, because without Him giving us revelation we fall back into the motions of reading the Bible, and attempting to sanctify ourselves.

That is my prayer for you, my friends, as well as myself. That the Lord would continually open our eyes!
