40 Days...Day 5

Good Morning Church,

Today is day 5 on our 40 day journey to bring ourselves closer to God. Today’s reading is from Matthew 7. This passage holds special meaning to me as a parent because I can relate to it. I would not give my own children something that would hurt them and it gives me such confidence that God, who knows all, will give us such gifts that it will amaze us.

Matthew 7:7-12
7"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8"For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
9"Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?
10"Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?
11"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

12"In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

I truly believe that God will reward those who seek Him and pour their lives into Him. When you pray today ask God to give you knowledge to do His will, and the vision to see needs in our community. These doors will open, then it is up to us to have the courage to step in and fill that need.

God bless you on your journey today.
