Ask, Seek and Knock

Have you ever been at a point that you found yourself asking God for something that may have seemed silly?  That was me last Friday.  My husband had went to run an errand to drop off a check for something while I was working.  He came back and I could tell something was wrong.  He said that as he was driving there, the check blew out the window.  This was along a busy road and he was pretty upset, figuring it was completely gone.  This was just as I was about to take a lunch break so I told him that I would go back out with him and look. 

I walked up one side of the road, praying hard.  Asking God for a miracle to find this check.  At one point, while I’m praying, I thought to myself, this is silly, it’s just a check that can be cancelled.  Still, I knew it was upsetting to my husband so I prayed more. 

Matthew 7:7

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

I continued down the other side of the street, and just as I was about to give up as I was at the end of where it should have been, I saw it.  It was in a ditch, stuck between a couple of blades of grass.  God had answered my prayer. 

No request is too small or too silly for God.  With that in mind, the answer we receive may not always be the answer we are looking for.  Sometimes you will get a response that makes you think that the prayer was not answered, that is not really the truth as sometimes God uses these opportunities to get us to trust him.

My prayer for you this week is that you will ask, seek and knock.  The Lord is listening.
