Scripture
Matthew 16:17 Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Observation
Understanding who Jesus was did not come from Peter's own understanding or anyone else. The Spirit of God revealed it to him. It came from having a relationship with God.
Application
How much of my understanding comes from secular wisdom? How much do I take at face value from other people? How much of it is from only God? I need to seek God for new revelations in my life. I can not depend on just my own understanding or the knowledge that I can gain from other men, even Godly men. Without new revelations I will throw off restraint, at least that is what the scripture tells me.
Prayer
Father, help me to continue to seek your face, to gain understanding from you, to allow your wisdom to permeate my mind. Help me not be satisfied with what I've always known but to learn more from you at all times. Thank you for being there with your promises when we ask.
