Matthew 7:7-11 : Ask, Seek, Knock

Study

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you:

8 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he shall ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Ask, Seek, Knock

Life can be defined in various ways. One of them could be as the sum of all our actions. In living, what matters the most at times is what we choose to eventually do, not the thinking, planning, and contemplating prior to the doing. When we have a question, we are better off asking the question instead of speculating or assuming. When we are looking for something, we are better off searching instead of waiting with a wish that someone else might find it for us. And when we stumble upon a door in our life, we are better off knocking on it instead of indefinitely waiting before it, hoping that someone else may open it for us!
