Luke 24:45 NKJV

And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

This passage in Luke is about Jesus ministering to His disciples after the resurrection. This was an example of how knowledge of the scriptures does not necessarily translate into understanding. That is why we need to look to God for help as we read, study and meditate His Word. Let us humble ourselves when we approach the scriptures and ask for understanding. Knowledge is good but understanding makes a huge difference in our ability to activate the Word in our lives.
