ASK

Ask, Seek, & Knock..

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8

Ask - So often we're afraid to ask for help because we have toadmit we don't have the answers.

Seek - Effort and interest and perseverance are necessary and that's sometimes hard.

Knock - In an era of doorbells, this is a forgotten action.

God wants us to use the A.S.K. principle and bring our hearts before him. So let's don not just whine, complain, desire, and want. Let's A.S.K. our Father and seek his glory.

If you remain in me and my Words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given you. John 15:7-8

I will certainly give you the wisdom and knowledge you requested. And I will give you riches, wealth, and honor such as no other king has ever had before you or will ever have again. 2 Chronicles 1:12

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5

Lord, you have been so generous with your love. Help me to keep my heart set on you and your will today as I ask you to minister to the things on my heart. In Jesus' name I ask, Amen.

Hi,

You have a knack of doing this from time to time. Now, you have been knocking us off our feet! GOOD for you!

Let us look at the scripture,"But thanks to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him." 2 Corinthians 2:14 (NIV).

God bless you,
Holly
