God's Word for Friday, 22 JAN 21

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Matthew 7:7-8 KJV 


"Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn’t a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in."

Matthew 7:7-8 MSG

Words to remember, especially now.

I so often struggle with actually believing this.

Rev. Paul said...

Agreed, NFO.

TB, James wrote that to get what you ask for, it must a) be accordance with His will (the Bible), and b) you have to believe that He is a rewarder of those whom He has called. That's another way of describing faith.

Answer to TB. An eye opener.

Rev. Paul said...

WSF, I hadn’t thought of it in those terms. It’s just that too many churches never actually explain things like that: they tell us to “have faith” but hardly ever explain what that means. So I tried to give more info, and I hope it can be read that way.

In accordance with His will and in His time.

Thank you, Lord.

WSF, I find that most of the responses I get from Reverend Paul are eye openers. It has certainly helped my faith over the years.
