Ask Seek and Knock

After the challenges of the sermon on the mount it is unsurprising that Jesus towards the end of the sermon reminds his disciples where to get the help they will need in to live the way Jesus describes! “Ask, Seek and Knock” Jesus says…

Ask and you will receive
Seek and you will find
Knock and the door will be opened to you

Luke 11 gives us further insight into Jesus teaching on prayer…

… I tell you, 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 the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.  What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Three things to Praise God for today:

• God promises to asnwer our prayers
• God is a GOOD Father and his answers are always GOOD
• God gives us more of himself – the Holy Spirit - when we come to him in prayer

Whatever you are praying about today… whatever the answer you get or are waiting for… be encouraged to trust God more – he is our good, and loving Heavenly Father and He is ready to give you the Holy Spirit to remind you of truth, and help you live for Him today.
