Bible Verse of The Day – 6-7-22

Matthew 7:7 (NKJV) 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Ask.

One of the most important things in this life as a believer is knowing God’s promises for us and learning how to ask for them on a personal level.

In order for any of His promises to happen, we must be in agreement with Him for them to come to pass in our lives.

We don’t demand and we don’t command. We simply ask and respectfully (reverently) wait for His timing and His way of accomplishing it.

Seek.

How does one seek after God?

Again, we prayerfully go to and wait on Him.

We seek Him through reading His word. And throughout our day we seek Him by listening, letting Him help us discern the things that we need to see and understand.

Sincerely seeking Him will give us His answers.

Knock, and it will be open!

Simply go toward whatever God has put in front of us and follow through.

One thing I find interesting is the order they are in. Ask, seek and knock.

I find knocking doesn’t seem to do me a bit of good if I have not done both of these things first.

We must ask to start the process or get the ball rolling, so to speak.

Once the process has begun (we’ve asked), it doesn’t mean that whatever we are asking for will pop out of thin air.

Instead, it should cause us to want to seek after God for confirmation and further instructions.

It’s very important to know what steps to take, the timing and the knowhow to see it through, etc.

And then we come to the end and bring it home by knocking or “following through” with faith, wisdom and understanding. He will lead us each step of the way.

Praise God!
