A.S.K

I am again amazed by God’s Word. Whenever we think that we are done reading that passage cos it’s the fifth or sixth time we visited it, God uses it to refresh and enlighten us again.

Ask Seek Knock

I was asked the question in the BSF notes, of what had i been praying for in that manner that i ask seek and knock? I was stunned for a moment, trying to have an answer for it. But i dont! There was nothing that i am consciously praying fervantly for that i ask seek and knock on Jesus’s door to have an answer. I didnt feel guilty. I didnt feel sad. My response was, oh..! I felt a sudden realisation that my prayers had all been asking. I had not live out the part on seeking and knocking. Then i asked myself, i know how to knock. But how do i seek?

I’m not exactly sure of what is seeking. But i think seeking is what we have to do on our part as we pray and ask God for that certain thing.

My mum’s salvation had been on my mind. I’ve heard of many other believers whose parents eventually are saved. I know that i need to start praying for it. To apply,

Asking – Praying daily for my mum’s salvation

Seeking – Be a good testimony for Christ and bringing my mum to church events whenever possible

Knocking – Keeping her in constant prayer that she might be saved.

Why dont you start by asking too? (:

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my Savior

I take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me; this I read
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

Chorus (2x’s)
My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God: He was, my God; He is
My God is always gonna be

Yes, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring;
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

Chorus (2x’s)

(Instrumental)

Chorus: (2x’s)

My Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior loves, My Savior lives

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” Mtt5:6

Something said during during BSF lecture struck me. The speaker said something like this, that God will fill us accordingly to how much we thirst and hunger for righteousness.  I know i havent been hungering and thirsting enough.. and a picture of overflowing cup came to my mind! endless supply! Not sure if i am making sense..

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” vs 8

I was speechless for a second when i saw “.. FOR THEY WILL SEE GOD” before me. How many times did important messages escape your eyes? It’s a challenge to be pure in heart and maybe impossible to be that perfect. But, I will strive for it.
