Matthew

Sorry for going backwards, I got confused, LOL!

Matthew 6:25-27 So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or
drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food,
and the body more than its clothing?  See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they
do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in
heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they? 
And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit
taller?


There is so much more to life than what you are wearing and what you
are going to make for dinner. God provides the birds with all they
ever need to survive.  If  God can provide us with the oxygen we need
to survive, then why wouldn't He provide us with everything else?

Worrying is such a waste of time.  We truly have nothing to worry
about.  I kow what you are saying "but I have bills to pay" "a family
to take care of", yes so do I.  If you are having problems in any area
of your life, I truly feel that is God doing His work in you.  When
times get tough, bloom where you are planted, and use those times to
strengthen your faith in God, instead of wasteing your precious time
here on earth worrying about it.

MMAD Devotinal; Matthew 7:7-8

MATT 7: (7) "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. (8) "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

I find that most people feel this verse is saying that if we ask for material or emotional needs to be met, then the Lord will provide those things to us. But that isn't always the case.

Yes the Lord knows our needs and wants, and through our faith and the word we know that our needs will always be met, and I believe our wants will all be met when the Lord knows He can entrust us with His many blessings. If we want a million dollars then we need to prove to the Lord that we can be trusted with one dollar.

So many people get caught up in the prayers that "were not answered". They asked but they did not receive. We need to realize that when we ask the answer is sometimes going to be "no", or "not right now, maybe later". We need to trust that God knows what will work for our greater good, and that He uses our situations to get us where He needs for us to be, so we can fufill His purpose for our life. So God knows what we need and want, we do not have to ask for these things.

So what is this scripture really saying? When it refers to "ask and it will be given to you", "seek and you will find", "knock and the door will be opened to you". Jesus is refering to the never ending, and abundant flow of love, forgiveness, guidance, friendship, faithfulness, grace, mercy, peace, and joy that the Lord has to offer! It is always there, waiting for you to receive it!

"Ask and it will be given", Do you need forgiveness? Sure, we all do! All you have to do is ask and the Lord will forgive you in an instant!

"Seek and you will find", Do you need guidance and reassurance? Yes, then all you have to do is seek God in everything you do.

"Knock and the door will be opened", Are you looking for your purpose in life? Then all you have to do is knock on Jesus' door and ask Him what His wonderful purpose is for your life! If you listen I can guarantee you the doors will begin to open so you can fufill His purpose for YOUR life! Seek God in everything you do! He is the creator of all things. No one knows you better than Him. He only wants the best for your life. That is why Jesus died on the cross. JOHN 3: (16) "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
