A NEW LOOK
Today's reading: Luke 11-12

"And so I tell you this, keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened." Luke 11:9 NLT

I'll guess I've known this verse for a good forty of the forty-five years I've been alive.

It's a well-used verse. It's been sermonized. It's been put on posters. It's been memorized. It's been studied. It's been dissected and discussed by Christian circles.

I've seen the painting.

I've seen the t-shirt.

I've seen the coffee mug, the mouse pad and the bumper sticker.

What I see this morning is new...

Ask also means to desire.

Seek means to crave something enough to put effort forth to get it.

Knock means to hit something in order to get another's attention.

When I crave God's will in my life...When I desire to know and follow His plan more than anything in my being...When I hit my knees in prayer to the Almighty knowing He is my only hope...then I will receive more than I ever wanted!
