Ask, seek, knock, and find

Have you ever found yourself on your knees begging and pleading with God for something?  Maybe healing, maybe a way out of a bad situation, or maybe direction in life.  I have.  Did God answer you?  The answer is yes.  Sometimes God says yes, sometimes no, and sometimes not now.  

When it comes to asking God for something, He never said "ask, sit on a tree stump and wait, I will be back with your answer soon."  He said "Ask, seek, and knock."

Finding the answers is conditional on our obedience to act.  God said "ask" so ask.  He then said "seek."  To seek means you have to go and look and search for Gods answer.  Don't just sit there, go find it.  It may be found in meeting the right person, a job interview, or maybe even a new location.  I don't know but go look, just like a kid trying to find a hidden Easter egg.  God also said to "knock."  To knock means to keep looking, keep searching, and if oh didn't find it behind door number one then go knock on another door.  Maybe a job interview failed, then go interview somewhere else.  If it failed then God said "no."  

No matter what you are asking for you must seek and knock.  Sometimes you may find it right away and other times it may take a while.  No matter what God says "ask, seek, knock and you will find."

Matthew 7:8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened
