Luke 2:47 (KJ21)
And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.

Luke 2:47 (NAS)
And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers.

Luke 2:47 (NIVUS)
Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.

Luke 2:47 (NLT)
And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

The Bible says that God uses foolish things to confound the wise. The most important thing that Adonai ever did was to send His Son, Yeshua, to become the sacrifice for our sins. This is truly baffling to most people. Jesus is the gentle breath of God breathed upon mankind giving the newness of life.

Not only is Yeshua Adonai's breath, He is also the very Word of God. In one respect, words must be heard to be understood. All who give audience to the Lord and will hearken to His words will also receive understanding.

When you are facing a matter for which you have no understanding, you can go to the Lord, seeking His knowledge and wisdom. He has the intelligence to put things together for you. He has answers for every problem that you face. He has the ability and the desire to bring completeness into every area of your life. He wants to add to you and not subtract.

Therefore, if the Lord speaks something that makes your mind go tilt, remember that God often uses what appears foolish. When you embrace what He says, you will receive the understanding that you need.
