Matthew 7:7-8 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; Knock and the door will be open to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be open.
NEVER I repeat NEVER take this scripture out of context. God is not offering free genie wishes here. It seems like we are so apt to tell God what we want and expect it to be given. With that mindset, you will only be discouraged, defeated and done with God.
Ask; have you ever stopped to think that God already knows your needs. He already has in His hand what he wants you to have? All you have to do is ask for it. "Dear LORD, I want to receive what you have for me."
Seek; This isn't a game of hide and seek. Life can be distracting with all the hurts and hardships we face. In the midst of our trials we tend to quit looking for God because we think He has left us. The truth is, He is right there with us. We have just allowed our struggles to blind us. Seek Him daily, you will find him.
Knock; God is not home sleeping. And He certainly isn't hidden behind a closed door. What He is saying is this; pursue a personal relationship with me. Come join me, I will let you in.
