Keep On

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7 NKJV

There are fewer things in life more hurtful than to know you are someplace where you are not wanted. Don't leave - we're not staying here with that thought... No pun intended. 😊 It's just one more reason it is so great to follow the Lord! He ALWAYS wants us! No matter where He is and no matter where we are!

From Genesis to Revelation, God has invited us to come close, to be in conversation with Him, to reason together, to follow in His footsteps, to love each other. Jesus has gone above and beyond by inviting us to ask for anything according to His will, promising that God will give it to us.

Oh, I can hear you... you've been praying a long time and as far as you can tell, nothing has happened. In fact, it seems to have gotten worse... However, in our Promise for Today, Jesus cheers us on in our pursuit of the good things of God. In The New Living Translation, it reads, Keep on asking... Keep on seeking... Keep on knocking...

Keep on! Verse 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Jesus never put a timeline on it, He just said to keep on.

Prayer:

Father,
            We know that following You is a walk of faith. Help us to see with eyes of faith and know that You will be found faithful to us. You are trustworthy, a Rewarder of those who diligently seek You. Give us Your strength, Father, so that we don't grow weary in well-doing because we KNOW we will reap a due harvest, if we faint not. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
