Gon’ Head and Ask

By: Monique Smith

So this morning, over the staff list serv, this scripture was sent:

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

James 1:5

And I thought to myself, man, God is cool! Like anything we want, all we have to do is ask Him. So, I decided to do a devotional about that to remind you all. This is something that we all know and have known for a while, but I just wanted to remind you of this simple FACT.

"So I say to you: Ask 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; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Luke 11:5-9).

Just ASK! Just ASK! Gon’ head and ask! Don’t ask with doubt, ask with faith!

“In the Greek, the words ask, seek, and knock are present participle verbs. The more correct translation would read, ask and keep on asking, seek and keep on seeking, knock and keep on knocking. God invites us to be persistent in our prayers. We can give our worries and cares to God and leave it up to Him to do the rest”- Girlfriends in God devotional

So be excited today and know that our father loves to give us things!

Prayer: God, I love you! It’s so great that you, the owner of all things, who is perfect and holy, grants me the opportunity to simply ask you what I want! Glory Glory! Keep drawing me closer to you! In Jesus name! Amen.
