Who Has Not Read These Verses?
Matthew 7:7-11 ” Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 “Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? 10 “Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
How many who believe are in need of clothing or sleeping on the street or hungry and without fellowship? Why? Matthew 7:7-11 came straight out of the mouth of God yet see so little fruit. Why? Is God our Father? It is because we treat the traditions of mankind as though the words of God. The words from God give us the answers and we fall short in our part in the work of God. This verse is not just of our needs but of our wants as well. God gave us the will to love one another as God loves us. Did the Lord tell us that one was given more that those who have less might have more as well? Are we called to love those in the body or to judge those in the body as worthy?
