FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Why not ask God just as He prompts all to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 32, 94 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it the lack of faith that stops one from asking when God directs to ask, seek, and knock?
Why not ask God just as He prompts all to do?
Matthew 7:7-11<\/strong><\/em> records,\u00a0\u201cAsk and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. \u201cWhich of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
Asking and not receiving could be evidence of asking wrongly.\u00a0
The Bible makes all realize that it is possible to ask and ask wrongly.\u00a0
James 4:3<\/strong><\/em> states,\u00a0\u201cYou ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
What are you asking from God?\u00a0
Turn around and ask to be enabled to seek God more.\u00a0
Asking is not evidence that God forgets.
Asking God is communicating with God, giving attention to God.
Communication is a continuation.
God is a jealous God who gives attention to being asked for.
How can one not know that a caring God is mindful of His creation?
God does not forget His children.
God is a good God.
He is God who acts for the one who waits for Him.\u00a0(Isaiah 64:4)<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0
Those who know how to wait on God have the character of asking God.
Make asking God a way of life.
Today, uncommon challenges and evil occurrences ravaging the world demand that we ask for His promises.\u00a0
The word of God promises,\u00a0\u201cI will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will guide you with My eye.\u201d (Psalm 32:8)<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
Do you desire His eye to guide you?\u00a0
It is a blessing to be guided by the eye of God.
Psalmist buttresses,\u00a0\u201cBlessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, and teach out of your law, that You may give him rest from the days of adversity\u2026\u201d (Psalm 94:12-13)<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
There is a need for all to desire rest from His instruction and teaching.\u00a0
All should have a place in the promise of God that instructs and teaches for rest to have a place in life.\u00a0
Turn to God and ask, gain from the instruction and teaching of God, to keep you in the plans of God.
Grow in faith to ask God; it is a privilege to have a God who listens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
