Matthew 7: 7 - 12 (AMPLIFIED BIBLE) - "Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened. Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent? If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him! So then, whatever you desire that others would do to and for you, even so do also to and for them, for this is (sums up) the Law and the Prophets."
We are told to ask and seek and knock. Why?
- Because when we ask, we are expressing our desire to communicate with the Almighty.
- When we seek, we are showing our desire to find God.
- When we knock, we are letting loose our longing to be in union with the God.
- Prayer is our way of saying that we are willing to share in that rich relationship with the God.
- And, always, when we ask it is given to us, when we seek we find, when we knock the door is opened.
