Day 16

2/21/2015

 
Matthew 7:7  (ESV)
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”   

Meditative thoughts:
How will my response to Jesus’ invitation to “Ask… Seek… and Knock” be different if I first think about what God wants for me?
How does God fulfill this verse through His Word and the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper?

From: The Sermon on the Mount, David Scaer

Matthew 7:7-8 includes six references to praying, ... Asking, seeking, and knocking all refer to prayer. The giving, the finding, and the opening all refer to God's answering these prayers.

This pericope (7:7-11) speaks to the inner condition of the one who is praying. Those who pray should have the complete certainty that God will answer their requests.

The promise is that the Father in heaven, to whom the Lord's Prayer is addressed (6:9; 7:11), will answer that prayer by giving the good things (The Holy Spirit - Luke 11:13)...the bread of the Supper, the forgiving of debts, safety in temptations, and deliverance from Satan.
