Devotional — October 12
Matthew 7:7 (NASB)
"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."
Reflection
Jesus invites us into a life of persistent trust a relationship that keeps asking,keeps seeking,and keeps knocking.
God welcomes our requests. We don't approach Him as strangers, but as children. We bring our needs, our burdens, our questions, and our hopes to a Father who listens.
Seeking goes deeper than asking.
It is pursuing God's presence, God's wisdom, and God's heart.We don't just seek answers we seek Him.
Knocking speaks of perseverance.
Sometimes answers take time.
Sometimes doors do not open immediately. Jesus encourages us not to quit, not to give up, not to lose heart.
God is generous. He may not answer exactly when we expect or exactly how we imagine, but He always responds according to His wisdom and love.
This Is an Invitation Jesus is inviting us into active faith. Faith that asks.
Faith that seeks. Faith that keeps knocking. A faith that believes God is listening and God is working.
We ask with confidence. We seek with expectation. We knock with perseverance. And we trust that God hears, God responds, and God is faithful.
Prayer
Lord,
Teach us to come to You with confidence and persistence. Help us ask without fear, seek with sincerity, and knock without giving up. Strengthen our faith when answers seem delayed and remind us that You are always listening and always working for our good. Draw us closer to Your heart as we seek You above all else.
Amen.
God is still doing good in this world!
