‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:7‭-‬14‬ ‭(NIV‬‬). “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; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
“Seek Bravely; Knock Boldly” by In Touch Ministries:
“Those who actively pursue God are never disappointed.”
“Yesterday, we looked at what it means to ask something of God and what we gain by doing so. But we are also told to do two additional things in our pursuit of God: “seek” and “knock.”
All three of the commands come with rock-solid promises: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matt. 7:7, emphasis added). Notice the Lord doesn’t say “maybe it will be given,” “perhaps you will find,” or “hopefully it’ll be opened.” He wants us to know that those who seek after Him will never be disappointed. The journey—however long or challenging it might be—will always be worth it.
But what kind of door does Jesus have in mind? It is Himself. In John 10:9 Jesus says, “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” Jesus is the door through which we find abundant, eternal life. When we knock, we trust that there is always more goodness in store for those who are in Christ. And when we walk through this open door, it is through faith in Christ on the path of salvation that He alone provides.
When you ask, ask for more of Jesus. When you seek, seek the path of Jesus. And when you knock, knock boldly in the certainty that Jesus will open Himself to you and welcome you home.”

The Message of Palm Sunday (John 12:12-16)
Jesus made it evident he was not going to submit to what the crowd wanted. Christ had a different idea about what needed to take place.
Christ enters Jerusalem, by Hanna-Cheriyan Varghese The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord—    the King of Israel!” Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: “Do not be afraid,…

It is simply not enough to know about God.
We must know God in increasing levels of intimacy that lifts us up above all reason and into the world of adoration and praise and worship.

Asbury University and the Manifest Presence of God
I am cautioned, at the same time, by the words of Jesus to the woman at the well that we need to worship God in spirit and truth.
I don’t recall where I obtained this capture, but I am grateful for it. I woke up thinking about the phrase, “manifest presence of God”. I am not sure where I even heard that phrase. I had not thought of it in ages, but the phrase popped into my head when I slipped from my dreams last night into a brief state of consciousness. I would say that the so-called “Asbury revival” is an example of the…

Job 5:8 Seek God With Problems
But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause–Job 5:8 During times of trouble and problems, people seek out advice and recompense for what went wrong. They will seek it from others, friends, family and co-workers. Some will even attempt to get judges to rule that recompense must occur. A few will take the matter into their own hands to force repayment. They will submit…

In every circumstance, let God fill you with His Love, Joy, and Peace. These are gifts given both from and for His Glory, as they flow from His living Presence within you. Though you are an earthen vessel, He designed you to be filled with heavenly contents. Your weakness is not a deterrent to being filled with His Spirit; on the contrary, it provides an opportunity for His Power to shine forth more brightly. As you go through your life, trust Him to provide the strength you need moment by moment. Don't waste energy wondering whether you are adequate for each day’s journey: God's Spirit within you is more than sufficient to handle whatever each day may bring. That trust is the basis for unshakable confidence! In quietness (spending time alone with God) and confident trust (relying on His sufficiency) is your strength-- [for your strength is God Himself. Seek Him first, and you will have everything you need.]

By God's grace, two more poems...
By God’s grace, two more poems…
Sometimes you need someone to give you a gentle shake. Just a few words of encouragement can go a long way. My friend Sandra gave me that this week and I am so grateful. Here are two poems I wrote a few weeks ago. I don’t feel like a ‘good’ Christian. I feel very flawed and lost in the fog of medication but there are small moments of clarity. It is God who is ‘good’ not me, it is by grace we are…

March 23rd-Often, He will bring a person low to draw them closer to Him and then exalt or bless that person as only He can.
1 Samuel 2: 7 “The LORD makes poor and rich; He brings low, He also exalts. 8 “He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap To make them sit with nobles, And inherit a seat of honor; For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, And He set the world on them. In this prayer, Hannah exalts the Lord and His powers. Interestingly, though, He brings low and exalts, but that…

Seeking His Face
So many times I read a devotional and I think that it was written just for me on that particular day. That is a God thing and it happens all of the time. I know it happens to a lot of other people as well.  My devotional that I read the other day has stuck with me so I guess it is something that I need to take to heart. The reading is from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. The whole devotion…
