DAY 3 OF 11

God’s Promise

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8 (ESV)

It is likely that Matthew 7:7-8 is a favourite scripture for many. It talks about a great promise from our Almighty God. People may sometimes complain that they ask but never receive. That is because they misunderstand the heart behind these verses. If we ask, we definitely will receive it but not according to our timing. It’s according to God’s timing as He knows what the best plan is for His children.We have to understand that our God is an omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient God; nothing is impossible to Him.We have to have the faith in Him as this is His promise to all of us!

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your great promise. May You give us the momentum and eagerness to keep seeking You. No matter what situation we are in, we know that You are always with us and prepare the best for us. May we bring more pre-believers to seek You and encounter Your greatness. We pray all these in Your mighty name, Amen!

About this Plan

Through the Bible: Matthew

With more than fifty citations from the Old Testament, Matthew stands in the gap to unfold the grand drape of the New Testament stage, proclaiming that all messianic prophecies in the past have now been fulfilled in Jesus. The Kingdom of God will now be extended through the building of Christ’s church, and the promise to make Abraham’s descendants numerous will now be fulfilled through the Great Commission.
