Matt 11:25 (Revealed to Children) by Brenda Ferrie

Welcome God now with this LIFE Group Devotion (FB), provided by LIFE Runners (FB).

At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.” ~ Matt 11:25 (full readings)

Brenda’s Reflections: The heart of a child always amazes me. So often I take for granted what they can understand, assuming their simple minds won’t grasp the profoundness of God and His truth. But continually, God reminds me that He is the One who reveals truth–to whomsoever He chooses. And those simple minds and hearts are His favorite. Whether you have children of your own or have the opportunity to work with someone else’s, never hold back the truth of God because you assume they won’t understand. For it is not to “the wise and prudent” but to the “infants” that God reveals His majesty.
