Luke 10:21–22

The wisdom of man accomplishes nothing in our spiritual relationship with God. We must come to Him as little children knowing nothing but expecting everything.


The wisdom of Holy Spirit will guide us into the spiritual truths of our walk with God in Jesus. He is found in silence! We must first listen to Him speak. He talks spirit to Spirit.


In my flesh I can do nothing. In Holy Spirit all things are possible!


 In Jesus, in His crucifixion and resurrection, He overcame death and evil. Jesus is the only way to the Father. In Him is our only hope.


Holy, holy, holy Lord God almighty. Heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Hosanna in the highest blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!


Beware of the leaven of the hypocrisy of man it is death to those who listen to it. 


We forget Mother Teresa’s gifting endorsement, “God is the friend of silence.”


To sit still is to practice Sabbath—meaning literally, to quit. To stop. To take a break. To make uncluttered time. It’s all about what we can notice—and see—when we slow down and let the silence descend. It’s about paying attention. Ah yes… the sacrament of the present moment. SabbathMoments 


We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. Mother Teresa


Luke 10:21–22

21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 22 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.The New King James Version



Lord of heaven and earth is a title emphasizing the authority of God over all of creation. Faithlife Study Bible


This is Jesus’ declaration of total authority as the Son of God. He makes a similar statement in Mathew 28:18. Jesus declares His unique relationship with God the Father. The Lord reveals Himself only through Jesus. To know God, one must know His Son, Jesus. The NKJV Study Bible


All our victories over Satan, are obtained by power derived from Jesus Christ, and he must have all the praise. But let us beware of spiritual pride, which has been the destruction of many. Our Lord rejoiced at the prospect of the salvation of many souls. 


He has ever resisted the proud, and given grace to the humble. The more simply dependent we are on the teaching, help, and blessing of the Son of God, the more we shall know both of the Father and of the Son; the more blessed we shall be in seeing the glory, and hearing the words of the Divine Saviour; and the more useful we shall be made in promoting his cause. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary


Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.


Matthew 11:26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.


Matthew 11:27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.


John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.


John 6:46 | Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.
