“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8 (New King James Version)
This is one of the best verses of scripture in the whole bible, if you ask me. It's pretty plain english "Ask and it will be given to you" Ask. Ask. Just ask. Ask and it WILL be given to you. Not it might be given to you. It will be given to you. This is a direct quote from the bible. It's what Jesus is saying to you and to me. If we ask, it will be given to us. There's nothing that you have to do before asking Him. You don't have to pray for 3 hours. You don't have to do some crazy actions to make yourself "holy". You just have to ask. In 2Chronicles 1:7, God is talking to Solomon and He says "Ask! What shall I give you?" That's a pretty clear instruction. God is saying to Solomon to just "ASK". Three simple letters. With no discrimination. With no judgment. With no expectations of something that Solomon has to do. God just says to ask.
Today, I encourage you to just "ask" God. To ask Him for something that will make your heart happy. Whether it be big or little. From healing a broken finger, to getting a new car, to buying a new house, to having food to put on your table. God is NEVER, EVER too busy to care about your needs. All He's asking you to do is ASK.
