Devotional Matthew 7:7-11
Jesus in giving His sermon on the mount, says we are to be asking, we are to be seeking, we are to be knocking. And all of this is framed in the context of God as our loving Father, who graciously brings a new kingdom. (He who didn’t spare His own son, but gave him up for us all.) In light of God as our loving father, we are to be loving others. This whole passage is bookended about relationships with others. Read Matthew 7:1-15. It’s all about others! Read especially Matthew 7:14-15 in light of your relationships to others!
How often do you ask, seek, and knock on God?
How are you asking, seeking, knocking for others?
