For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Luke 11:10
The key that Jesus is getting at here is that we need to want this thing we are after. Oh, often we claim to want things. And we really convince ourselves that we do. But we never get them because we won’t ask and ask, and seek and seek, and knock and knock. So, we want it, but we don’t want it enough.
I learned early on this simple truth from Scripture. If you want God in your life, you have to pursue Him. If you desire His blessing, you need to ask for it earnestly. If you want to be used by His mighty hand, you must make yourself available.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the truth of Your Word. Thank You for not lying to us. You are the most precious possession. If we have all of You, we need nothing else. Thank You for pushing us to desire You and Your will. What a mercy! What a grace! What a joy! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
