“At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: ‘O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. ²⁶ Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way!’” v. 25-26

Is God hiding? Could there be more of Him than what you and I have experienced? The answer is Yes! The things of God are hidden to those who do not believe!  If you don’t believe me check this out, “But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 (NLT) When you believe and surrender your life to Christ the Bible says that the Holy Spirit comes to live in you heart.  The Holy Spirit reveals the things of God to us. The more we surrender our lives to Christ, the more we learn about God and experience Him in our daily lives.  On the day of your salvation, the day you

1. Admitted you were a sinner!
2. Believed Jesus died on a cross because of your sin and resurrected from the dead to offer the forgiveness of sin and eternal life.
3. Committed your life to Jesus by surrendering everything you are for everything He is.

you received all of the Holy Spirit.  But in the everyday surrender of your heart, where you become more like Christ, is not you getting more of the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit getting more of you! This is why it so important to be in the Word and Pray.  Its our opportunity to give our life away, so we can gain a life we can’t produce on our own. And it all starts with a child like faith that believes Jesus is who He says He is and He will do what He has promised to do. So the question is, are you playing hide and seek with God, or are you Following the Leader?

Today, seek the Lord in a new way! Do something different that allows you to experience Him in a new way or causes you to grow deeper in Faith!
