Daily Devotional
"Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you"
(Matthew 7:7, AMP)
What doors are you knocking on today? Are you looking for a door of opportunity to be opened? A door of escape? A door of shelter from the storms of life?
God loves persistence. He honors diligence. When you diligently do the will of God, obeying His Word and following His commands, it's like knocking on the door of His promises. He is faithful, and He will open that door! Maybe you're already doing all you know to do today—don't give up! Perseverance will carry you to the promise. Perseverance keeps on asking and keeps on knocking. Perseverance looks away from discouragement and distractions and keeps looking toward God. It has a voice that says things like, "No weapon formed against me shall prosper! I know God is for me! I am more than a conqueror through Jesus!"
Today, stay faithful to follow God's Word, and remember, every step of obedience is another knock on the door of His promises! He will hear you, and He will answer. He will open up doors that no man can shut and lead you into the life of victory He has prepared for you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father God, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. Thank You for opening doors of opportunity before me and for leading me and guiding me. I trust that You are ordering my steps as I diligently follow Your commands. In Jesus’ Name. Amen."
I Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
In the sometimes self gratifying world that seems to be around us this concept of diligence and perseverance does not fit in all that well at times but boy it is none the less good advice!
So many many times in my life does it seem I am in this position. And when I buckle down and do this I am rewarded, it might seem like it takes a long long time but in the end I can always look back and see the benefit of it...see opportunities that came along that I would not have been given had I just rode over this concept.
Good stuff today.
