“Ask \u00a0– it will be given” \u00a0“Seek – you will find” \u00a0“Knock – it will be opened”. \u00a0I wonder how many times I read this verse and think about my own gain. \u00a0 What if I asked, sought, and knocked for someone else – that it would be given them, that they would find, that it would be opened for them. \u00a0Why do I not think about the other person first with the intent of their needs above myself. Certainly I am\u00a0not \u00a0anxious, worried or concerned \u00a0every day. \u00a0Slow down enough to see the needs of those around us above self and then Ask, Seek, and Knock for their benefit.<\/p>\n
Matthew 7:7
\n\u201cAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.<\/p>\n
Isaiah 55:6
\n\u201cSeek the Lord while he may be found;
\ncall upon him while he is near;
\nlet the wicked forsake his way,
\nand the unrighteous man his thoughts<\/p>\n
2 Chronicles 15:1
\nThe Lord is with you while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. For a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without law, but when in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them<\/p>\n
Jeremiah 29:13
\nYou will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
