God’s Power Principle for Today: “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.” (Matt. 7:7-8).
Hey Gang: I love that
verse. Think about it for a moment – “Ask”, ask who…ask the Creator of all
that we survey, the One who has the power of the universe; The promise, “Ask, and it will be given to you,”
given what? What you ask
for!
If at first you do not succeed, then “seek” and keep “seeking” until you find and, if that does not work,
get more aggressive and “knock and keep knocking until ‘it’ whatever it might be, is opened to
you. But keep in mind that we need to
allow God to be God, ask according to His will, for he knows the hairs of your
headand His plan is perfect. Keep in
mind that when Moses asked God, “Who
shall I say sent me,” God responded,
“Moses, tell them "I AM" sent
you”.
Many years ago I received a call from a very special friend
whose prayer was that God would allow him to develop a Christian Radio Station.
This was a prayer that he had faithfully prayer for a number of years with no
success. I listened and could say,
"been there", for I had prayed that God would allow me to develop a
place where kids with hang ups could receive a ‘shirt tail to hang onto for two
years without success. It was said I was the only unemployed director of a non-existent
boy's home.
I do not remember all that we talked about that day, but I
do remember suggesting he might change his prayer from seeking a radio station
to seeking God's will for his life whatever that will might be. God created us, He knows every hair on our
head, He knows what He has designed for our lives and He knows precisely how He
wants to implement that plan when we put our trust in Him and lean not on our
own understanding.
Several days after our conversation, the station manager of
the radio station where he worked, approached Gary and asked if he would
consider developing a morning devotional segment for the station. An interim fulfillment of Gary's prayer while
God prepared him for what was to come.
Today it is a joy to turn on the radio to Praise Radio, the fulfillment
of many years of prayer by a very dedicated young man.
Has God planted a seed in your heart that is in His
incubator? If so be advised, His plan is
perfect in all ways, including the timing when it will come into being. Notice: what was God saying that day on the
mountain as he prepared Moses to take on the powers of Egypt and lead God’s
people out of bondage? I sense he was
saying, “I AM’ has been in your
past; I AM is in your today’s: and I AM will be in your future and my
grace is sufficient for you in all things.
Sooo, my young compatriots, "Ask, and keep asking, seek
and keep seeking and knock and keep knocking" and when His time is right,
hang on tight for you will get rope burns when He says "Go For
it!" I know, been there!
Blessings,
Gramps
