Matthew 7:7-11
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened….”
This passage is one of my favorite songs. Sing it with me…or hum along. ♫ Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you---hallelujah. Knock and the door will be opened unto you; seek and you will find; ask and it will be given unto you-- hallelujah. ♫
God loves us---listens to us---and honors our requests when they are in His will. Sometimes we get a “no”---but generally even the little things like a good parking place can be attributed to Him. Look for ways that He has been working in your life and give Him “Thanks” for those blessings. If you haven’t read the book One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp yet—please consider it for your next read. She focuses on how God works in our lives---during the good time and the not so good times---and giving eucharisteo – Grateful Thanks—for all the blessings that God give us. Praise God from whom all blessing flow.
Precious Savior, please give us (ask for your needs today) and thank you for sunshine, rain, rainbows, the clothes and food, and all that you provide, as well as Your love and security.
