Contemplation
[verses 9-10] _Now by asking, He means prayer, but by seeking, zeal and anxiety, as He adds, Seek, and you shall find. For those things which are sought require great care. And this is particularly the case with God. For there are many things which block up our senses. As then we search for lost gold, so let us anxiously seek after God. He shows also, that though He does not forthwith open the gates, we must yet wait.
+ John Chrysostom
Personal Question
Verse 9-10 is a beautiful promise from the Lord. If “ask” is prayer, “seek” is more than prayer, and to “knock” is to continue seeking, am I currently seeking God? Practically/realistically, how can I? Today, this week, this year.
Bible Knowledge Question
What is the meaning of ask, seek and knock in verses 9-13?
Prayer
Dear Lord, help me to remember that I don’t have to live this life alone. You are the Door, may I always ask you in prayer, seek you in all aspects of my life, and knock forevermore until the day that I enter into the Gates of Your Kingdom!
