Matthew 7:7-8
“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; the one who seeks finds; and
to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
The past couple of weeks I have been writing
about our plans verses the Lord’s plan for us.
We started with having a plan and then having our steps directed by the
Lord, then we talked about how the Lord’s purpose would prevail.
This week I want to focus on Matthew 7:7-8. We are told to ask, seek and knock. In our lives, we will make plans, there is
nothing wrong with that. As long as we
are allowing the Lord to direct our steps and prevail in our lives, we should
confidently go to him, asking for whatever it may be, seeking his guidance and
then knocking and waiting for a door to be open.
Does that mean you will always get what you
want? Of course not. In prior weeks we learned that sometimes our
plan isn’t exactly how the Lord has it planned for us and he will redirect our
steps. What we ask for may end up
changing before the door is opened.
This week I encourage you to take your requests
before him. Ask him to guide your steps
and the plan that you are seeking. Then
look for the door that he opens for you!
