Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8
As a Christian, these verses taken from the gospel of Matthew display how it is that we obtain the vision and will God has for our lives. To obtain what it is that God has for you, to walk in the will of God, and to ensure your eternal resting place, these three steps outlined below must be taken… First, you must ask God; this means that you inquire of Him and develop a relationship with Him, knowing that He is the source of your being and happiness. Asking implies that there is an answer you seek and Jesus is reminding us today that God has all the answers and we must indeed turn and ask the proper person to find the correct answer… The Bible says we have not because we ask not!!!
After asking God, the Second thing you must do is seek Him; oftentimes, we take the first step but become frustrated and irritated with the second… The Bible says that God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory; many people quote this scripture to imply that God will give you everything you ask for at the drop of a hat; however, the bible also says in Jeremiah 29:13 that, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Study God’s word, fast, and pray with earnest.
After asking and seeking, the third thing we must do is knock; this is the most important decision that a Christian must make, to knock means that something is separating you from where you want to be and where you are presently. When you knock on a door, you are awaiting the door to be opened and you stand in anticipation. We must knock on the door of heaven, but we must also knock down the obstacle that WILL be placed in front of us as we seek to live within God’s will.
SO, ASK, SEEK, and KNOCK!!!! Surely you will find what you need even if it isn’t what you expected!!!!
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
