QUESTIONS EVERYWHERE
Matthew 7:7-8
7) Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened for you.
8) For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Ask, seek, and receive—that seems simple enough, but is it? Do you recall when you were growing up and being told that if you didn’t ask, you wouldn’t know? That advice still holds true today. If you don’t ask, you won’t know. Why, where, when, how, and can I? These were the questions we heard on repeat daily when our kids were little. They are also the same questions we ourselves ask every day. However, we are probably not asking why we can’t have a cookie, where we are going, or my favorite one, “when will we get there, how much longer?” Our questions have evolved over time and are often harder to answer. For instance, “Why me, Lord?” What did I do to deserve this? When will I finally get ahead? Where is all this turmoil in my life leading me?
When we are faced with these questions in life and we don’t know the answers or they don’t come easily; because many things in life are not easy, it is then that we seek. We seek the answers and we put our faith in God to help us find those answers.
Psalm 121:1-2
I look up to the mountains - does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!
When we’re overwhelmed by life’s questions, it’s comforting to remember that we’re not alone in our quest for answers. Our friends, neighbors, brothers, and sisters are all on the same journey, seeking their own truths. Perhaps one of them has the answer to your question, or they’ve already found the solution. You’ll never know unless you ask.
Once you begin seeking answers, they’ll start coming to you. Just remember, the answers may not align with your expectations. Why should you always go right when you want to go left? Because that’s the path God has chosen for you. But where will that road lead? It could lead you to temptations, hope, or even home. Keep knocking on that door, keep asking those questions, and keep seeking God with persistence and continuous effort. Your faith will lead you to what you truly seek.
Matthew 21:22
“You can pray for anything and if you have faith, you will receive it.”
Like a shrinking tumor.
