Luke 19:45-20:44.  Jesus’ teachings and the answers he gave to those who were purposely trying to “catch him in something he said” reveal an insight that goes beyond education.  This insight is available to believers as well.  We need merely ask for it from God, and stayt in his word, because the Holy Spirit’s wisdom comes to those who pay attention to what God says.

LORD, forgive us for remaining in ignorance about really important things because we have failed to access the insight available from your Holy Spirit.  Forgive us for failing to dig deep in the treasure of your word and thus depriving ourselves of wisdom to help us live as we ought to live.  Forgive us for blaming you, or our lack of education, when the truths that could have brought us success have been so accessible.
