Ask – Seek – Knock

Ask – Seek – Knock

In Luke 11:9, Jesus tells us to:

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

These words of Jesus remind us that we can come to God with anything and everything, and He will answer us.

Asking, seeking, and knocking require action on our part. It’s not enough to just sit back and wait for things to happen. We must take the initiative to come to God with our needs and desires, and trust that He will provide.

So, whatever you may be facing today, know that you can come to God in prayer and ask Him for help. Seek Him with all your heart and mind, and trust that He will guide you and lead you on the right path.

God’s Wrath

God’s Wrath

In Romans 12:19, we encounter a powerful verse that speaks to the way we handle conflict and seek justice. It says,

“Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.”

This verse reminds us of the importance of entrusting justice into the hands of God and not seeking personal vengeance.

When we face situations where we have been wronged or treated unjustly, our natural inclination may be to seek revenge or take matters into our own hands.

However, this verse urges us to resist that urge and instead leave room for God’s justice to prevail. It’s a call to trust in the sovereignty of God, knowing that He sees all and will ultimately bring justice in His perfect timing.

As we reflect on Romans 12:19, may we are challenged to let go of our desire for revenge and entrust justice into God’s hands.

Seek peace and forgiveness, knowing that God sees all and will bring about justice in His way and timing. Find solace in His sovereignty, trusting that He will right every wrong and bring healing to our hearts.

Power of God

Power of God

Have you ever felt weary, discouraged, or lacking energy in your spiritual journey? In Romans 8:11, we encounter a powerful verse that says,

“And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.”

This verse reminds us of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit within us and the transformative power He brings to our lives.

Just as the Spirit of God raised Jesus from the dead, He also gives life to our mortal bodies. This means that the same power that conquered death and brought Jesus back to life is available to us.

The Holy Spirit empowers us, rejuvenates us, and brings vitality to our spiritual walk. He infuses us with His life-giving energy, enabling us to overcome challenges and experience spiritual renewal.

As you reflect on Romans 8:11, be reminded of the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit within you. Draw near to Him, seeking His guidance and allowing Him to breathe fresh life into you.

Lean on His strength, knowing that He has the power to revive and rejuvenate. Walk in the confidence that the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is at work in you, bringing life and transforming you into the image of Christ.

Footstool

Footstool

In Psalm 110:1, we encounter a fascinating verse,

“The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.'”

This poetic declaration unveils the exalted position of Jesus as both the Messiah and our eternal King. It reveals His divine authority and the ultimate victory He has over all His enemies.

The imagery of sitting at the right hand of God signifies a position of honor and authority. It depicts Jesus as the victorious ruler who has been given power over all things.

Just as a footstool is under the control and subjugation of the one who sits on the throne, so will all of Jesus’ enemies be defeated and placed under His dominion.

This verse assures us that Jesus is not only our Savior but also the reigning King who triumphs over all opposition.

This verse invites us to reflect on the sovereignty and lordship of Jesus in our lives. It reminds us that even in the face of challenges, we can take refuge in His authority and power.

We can trust that our God is in control, working all things together for His purposes.

Find comfort and confidence in the truth that Jesus is our victorious King, and as we submit to His authority, we can experience His triumph and find rest in His presence.

Two or Three

Two or Three

Have you ever felt the weight of a burden or faced a challenging situation where you needed prayer support and guidance?

In Matthew 18:19, Jesus shares a powerful promise when He says,

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.”

These words remind us of the power of united prayer and the assurance that God hears and responds to the prayers of His people.

Jesus emphasizes the significance of agreement in prayer, highlighting the importance of unity within the community of believers.

When we come together in agreement, our prayers become a powerful force, not because of our own abilities, but because we invite God to work in and through us.

As we navigate life’s challenges and seek God’s guidance, remember the promise Jesus gives us in Matthew 18:19; come together in unity, supporting one another in prayer and agreement.

Through this collective faith, we can experience the transformative power of God working in our lives, bringing healing, provision, and wisdom.
