Ask! Seek! Knock! Find JOY in Him!



             Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  In Matthew 7: 7 we find the words of Jesus: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you”.   

As we pray, we are given these simply guidelines to ASK, SEEK and KNOCK.  And then verse 8 gives us an unconditional promise: “For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

            Doesn’t it fill your heart with JOY to know that when you ask, seek and knock, God hears your prayer?  These verses are promises to the Christian. But we must remember that he may not always answer the way we think He should.  Sometimes he does say “Yes”; other times he says “NO” or “Not yet”.  What about those prayers that you and I have prayed for YEARS and still have do not have an answer? That is when He says: “Trust Me”! Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us why we can trust:
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

 We can trust that God is always going to answer our prayers in HIS best way! And that should fill us with peace and assurance…..blessed assurance, packed full of JOY!

Drink your Joy Juice faithfully! Trust that God will answer your prayers in His perfect and joy-filled way!
