Dailies~ In His Word
April 8, 2019
“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 he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among
you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a
serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to
your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things
to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want men to
do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew
7:7-12
My Bible titled this “Keep
Asking”. I think this stood out to me because sometimes we as humans give up
too quickly!
This weekend as we drove
off to the retreat I saw sunshine somewhere on the horizon… I still kept asking for God to come through
with the sun! He said “Peace be still just call my name and I will… “ It is
part of a song, but He rewrote it for me this week! It does not go, “calm the
waves and calm the sea if you only trust in Me” but in my mind and heart it
does! And He did! I think it was a matter of trusting that God
had a plan and we were being obedient to follow it!
I kept asking and He keeps
on answering! Today as I see the shining sun rising over the trees and house
next door I know He is still there answering things I have asked for! So what
am I going to do about it? What is my give back? I will walk in the name of the
Lord my God, I will obey His Word and I will continue to do what He prompts me
to do! I will move forward and share the Gospel, the stories of what He has
done for me… I will testify! I will study to show my self approved by God! I
will love others as He loves me! I will do the Word!
What will you do with what God has answered you?
Heavenly Father, help us
to walk in Your truth, in Your presence, in our lives daily! Thank you, In Jesus
name, amen.
