Luke 9:45
45 But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.
this is refering to the disciples when Jesus told them of the betrayel that He will be facing. What i found interesting was the middle part where it says
"and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it"
I'm glad that i'm not the only one who doesn't totally understand everything that God says, even His own diciples had the same problem! But that's what makes us human, and God, God. After reading this verse i realised that i still don't understand so many things in the Bible, God's Word. And the reason being was that the meaning or the understanding behind it is hidden from me, that's why we need revelation from God to reveal the secrets of the Bible to us. So i prayed that God will fill me with such wisdom, discernment, and intimacy with Him so that i may fully understand and comprehend everything that God wants to tell me through His Word, that things will not be hidden from me, and that i will be able to perceive everything that God has to tell. Either that or that I may be so obediant to the voice of God that i won't even need to understand what i'm doing in order to do it.
Another thing i learnt was that we shouldn't be afraid to ask God about anything. The diciples despite not knowing what Jesus was saying, didn't ask Him what He meant because they were afraid, and that didn't really do them any good. I don't really see what's so afraid of to ask Jesus things that we aren't sure of..He even said so in luke 11:9 that if we ask, it will be given to us! God is dying to talk to us, and to hear from us. Many times we are the ones who are too afraid and don't ask.
