Ask and Receive!

Matthew 7:7. Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find.

Sometimes I have heard His Assured answer and other times I am just believing and hoping I can make right decisions. Life can be difficult and knowing the best way to go or direct my focus can be “Hit and Miss”!

When is the right time in life to start a family? Should we buy a new house or not? This job doesn’t pay much so should I look for another? My child is struggling at school, should I ask his teacher for her help? My Marriage could be better. Should we see a counselor? These, and many other questions will plague our minds.

This morning was no different. I went to prayer and the very first prayer off my lips was, “Father I need direction and I know I need your help. I want You Lord to please show the way.” The next thing I heard from the Holy Spirit was, “open your Bible.” Well my Bible was right next to me, so I opened and there before me was this verse, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8”

Now, I am not one to believe that every answer comes from opening my Bible and pointing to a verse. But, this time, after I was instructed to open the answer was there, right there in front of me! He would yes, always be there to guide and to teach!

My first lesson is always ask Him! Pray and He will direct. My second lesson is the Word of God always instructs and teaches us His will for our lives. Ask and it will be given, seek and you will find, Matt 7:7
