Words of Encouragement- Matthew 7:7

Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks receives and he who seeks finds and to him who knocks the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, give him a snake? If you then, though you are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything do to others what you would have them do to you fo this sums up the law of the prophets. Matthew 7:7-12 Jesus blesses his children when we pray. This scripture invites us to pray. It invites us to spend time with our father, and how much more will he bless us than our earthly father. I heard this challenge on the radio a couple of weeks ago. Just for today , move your watch or your wedding bands to the other hand . Everytime you look down and realize its in the wrong place think How much More!... and thank God for how much he gives to us. When you pause to consider that God is infinitely strong and can do all that he pleases, and that he is infinitely righteous so that he only does what is right, and that he is infinitely good so that everything he does is perfectly good, and that he is infinitely wise so that he always knows perfectly what is right and good, and that he is infinitely loving so that in all his strength and righteousness and goodness and wisdom he raises the eternal joy of his loved ones as high as it can be raised—when you pause to consider this, then the lavish invitations of this God to ask him for good things, with the promise that he will give them, is unimaginably wonderful. - Pastor John Piper- 2007
