ASK

Have you ever lost anything? We have a tendency to lose things around the house quick, fast, and in a hurry. Granted, some of the loses are created by two toddlers that don't always remember what they did with things. But, suffice it to say that we lose things from time to time (and, it's not always the little ones).

Not just losing things, though. Have you ever searched and searched for that something that you just couldn't seem to find? Maybe it was a special gift for someone, a certain book that has been out of print for years, a certain toy that is all the rage but the stores are sold out. Whatever it was, you were diligent and refused to stop looking, to stop searching, until you found it.

Today's word is Luke 11:9, KJV, which reads, "And I say unto you, 'Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.'"

Notice that all the verbs are present tense and active: Ask; Seek; Knock. It doesn't mean to ask once and not ask again. It doesn't mean that if you don't find it the first time to quite looking. It doesn't mean to give one little knock and leave. No, we must actively ask, and actively seek, and actively knock. You're never gonna get it if you don't ask. You'll never find it if you don't seek it. You'll never get the door to open if you only knock once.

GOD has so many wonderful blessing in store for His children, if we will just Ask, Seek, Knock. Do you notice that the first letters of each of these action verbs spell ASK? GOD is listening. He loves you. He wants to do great and wonderful things - ASK.

Be Blessed,
