Ask, Seek, Knock
Matthew 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Have you ever sat and pondered why we ask, seek, and knock?
Perhaps we ask for what we want, seek for what we’ve don’t have, and knock on the door that we feel we have no access to. Why? Because our faith isn’t a strong as it should be.
Interesting that God repeats these words again in verse 8. His instructions are to ask in faith (James 1:5-8) with the right purpose (James 4:3). When we do, He will open the door.
Because we are surrounded by so many distractions in this world, we need to determine to seek God. When we earnestly pray and seek God’s face according to His will (Deuteronomy 4:29; Jeremiah 29:13), He will hear our pleas and answer our petitions (1 John 5:14).
Everyone has the desire to be known and loved. God also desires to be known and loved by His creation and He richly blesses those who desire a personal relationship with Him.
May we sincerely have a desire for a deeper relationship with the Lord this year through fervent prayer and regular seeking the scriptures. We will not be disappointed. ❄️☃️
