THE LIMIT OF GOD’S REVELATION
THE SEED
“But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.” — Luke 24:16 (NKJV)
God, in His wisdom, has set boundaries on what we can perceive and understand, even in spiritual matters. No matter how gifted we may be, we can only see and know what He chooses to reveal. This truth is evident in Luke 24:16, where Jesus walked and conversed with His disciples, yet they were unable to recognize Him. This was not due to their lack of faith or understanding, but because God had temporarily restrained their perception. As believers, we must be careful not to fall into the trap of self- sufficiency, assuming that our spiritual insight grants us complete understanding. The things of God are revealed in parts, and full knowledge belongs only to Him. When we receive a revelation that seems unclear, our response should not be to rely on our intellect or impress others with our interpretations.
Instead, we must humbly seek God in prayer, asking Him for deeper understanding so that we do not walk in our own wisdom. Beloved, we can only perceive what Christ reveals to us. If we desire greater understanding, we must trust in God’s perfect timing and submit to His will, knowing that He reveals all things for His glory.
BIBLE READING: Luke 24:13-27
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, help us to remain humble, recognising that we can only see and understand what You choose to reveal. Guard our hearts against pride and self-reliance, and teach us to seek You earnestly when we need clarity. Amen.
