Today's Bible Verse:

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Matt 7:7)

 

Ask Seek Knock

The young man paid a visit to the Doctor. He was a bit nervous and shy.

The Doctor inquired of him what his problem was. He mentioned a few things which the Doctor addressed by prescribing some medication.

When the man got back to the car he remembered that there was something else which he should have told the Doctor. Because he hadn't asked for help in this particular area of addiction he didn't receive help for this problem.

Mark 10:51: "Jesus said to a blind man, 'what do you want me to do for you?' The blind man said, 'I want to receive my sight.'"

What would you say to Jesus if He asked,"what would you like me to do for you?"

Matthew 7:7 encourages us to Ask, Seek and Knock. Verse 11 says our Father in heaven will give good things to those who ask Him.

Thought would need to go into the answer, because James 4:3 challenges the motive for asking. It says you might not receive because of a wrong motive.

One thing is certain, "God gives Grace to the humble." (James 4:6). Let's all ask for Grace and allow our heavenly Doctor to heal our wounds. Let's make sure we don't forget to mention a particular problem. Tell Him everything.

One more thing.

We should Rejoice in the Lord always with thanksgiving when we talk to him about our problems so that we will experience His peace (Philippians 4:4-7).

Don't forget to ask.
