Persistent Faith

 Scripture:

““Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”  Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭

Observation:

Jesus said to ask, seek, and knock, and that the door would be opened to us. He continued and told us that everyone asks receives, everyone who seeks, finds, and everyone who knocks, gets an open door. The key is in the tense of the verbs. We must ask and keep on asking. All three verbs imply continuing to ask

Application:

I am not good at asking some something over and over. As a leader, I tend to ask once, then do it myself if it isn’t done. I’m not good at asking someone for something over and over again. I usually take over and do the job myself. I do the same with God. I don’t like to bother God with my problems. I need ti continue seeking till I find.

Prayer:

Father, help me to have persistent faith and to never give up on Your breakthroughs. You are faithful to provide for your children. Enable me to have persistent faith and trust in you that causes me to keep on asking.

Yours,

Jeff
