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

Study

7 Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you:

8 Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

9 Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he makes a request for a fish, will give him a snake?

11 If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to 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!

(References: Isaiah 51:1)
