FAITH CAPSULE: Daily, understand and Know what is good to ask from God.
Psalm 32, 94
What is stopping you from asking from God? A failure not to ask is the evidence of lack of faith. The word of God stated, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:7-11) Asking and not receiving could be the evidence of asking wrongly. The bible makes us to realize that it is possible to ask and ask wrongly. The book of James 4:3 stated, “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.” What are you asking from God? Is your asking from God centered on knowing God? Why not ask from God to fill you with the knowledge of His word and spiritual understanding? If man will turn to God asking for seeking God more, living life will be to the glory of God. To seek God is to be positioned where all your needs be added to you by His grace. (Matthew 6:33)
Asking from God the promises of God for your life is not because God has forgotten you. God does not forget His children; He is God that acts for the one who waits for Him. (Isaiah 64:4) Ones that know to wait on God are the ones that know to ask, and God attends to them. God hears from those who wait on Him. God hears, and He is God tha sees. The bible pointed it out that He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? (Psalm 94:9) It is worthy to begin to ask God for instruction and teaching over your life. In these days of uncommon challenges and evil occurrences, ask for God for His promises as stated in Psalm 32:8, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will guide you with My eye.” Do you desire His eye to guide you? Indeed, it is a blessing to be guided by the eye of God. Psalmist buttressed, “Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, and teach out of your law, that You may give him rest from the days of adversity…” (Psalm 94:12-13) Ways of today demands instruction and teaching of God to lead man. God has promised to instruct and teach man to rest and have a place in man’s life. Daily, understand and Know what is good to ask from God.
