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.

Jesus declared Simon to be blessed, not because he had done anything special or had the scriptures explained to him by a Rabbi; but because he listened to God for the explanation!

When you meditate on God’s Word, always be ready for Him to explain it to you as well.

It is not what we can discern, or what others can teach us but how God is able to teach us that will truly bless us. Don’t just believe in Him but trust in Him for inspiration and revelation!
