“You have revealed these things to little ones” – Matthew 11:25 –
A renowned scientist once visited a rural village to study its ecology. While he struggled with complex theories, a child quietly led him to a hidden spring, explaining how it fed the entire forest. The scientist marveled—sometimes the deepest truths aren’t found in textbooks but in the simplicity of those who listen closely.
Jesus praises the Father for revealing divine mysteries to “little ones” (Matt 11:25)—not the proud or self-sufficient, but to those who approach with childlike trust and humility. Like the scientist, we may come equipped with knowledge and logic, yet still miss the spring of truth hidden in plain sight. It often takes a child—someone small, attentive, and open—to show us what we’ve overlooked. In a world that celebrates expertise and self-reliance, God’s wisdom flows to those who quiet their egos and listen with wonder. Truth isn’t earned through intellect—it’s received through surrender. Pause your striving. Let go of needing all the answers. God speaks clearest to the humble who are willing to be led.
