In Matthew 7:7, we are reminded of the beautiful promise of God in His willingness to engage with us. The verse proclaims:
“ASK and it will be given to you;
SEEK and you will find;
KNOCK and the door will be opened to you.”
This passage emphasizes three important actions in our relationship with God:
– Asking signifies our openness to receive gifts from God. It reflects our dependence on Him for our needs, showing that we trust His generosity.
– Seeking is an active pursuit of God Himself. It’s not just about finding answers or blessings, but about searching for the heart of the Giver. It calls us to deepen our relationship with God.
– Knocking illustrates our persistence in pursuing the divine. When we knock, we are often venturing into the unknown, trusting that God will open doors to new opportunities, experiences, and His unfailing love.
When we engage in these actions, we are not just passively waiting for God to respond; instead, we are actively participating in a dynamic relationship filled with hope, trust, and faith.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the promises You have given us in Your Word. Help us to boldly ask for what we need and trust that You will provide for us. May we seek You with our whole hearts, longing to know You more deeply and intimately. As we knock on the doors of opportunity and understanding, grant us patience and perseverance, knowing that You will open them in Your perfect timing. May our relationship with You grow richer every day as we practice these three disciplines. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
