Does it ever seem like to you that our Heavenly Father seems to do more for
some believers than others? Recent converts often tell stories of dramatic
answers to prayer, even as those of us who have been in the Family for a
long time struggle under the weight of problems our Father could have lifted
from our backs long ago.
Why does a Father of unlimited resources seem tight-fisted with some of His
children while being so open-handed with others? And why does a Father who
is everywhere at all times seem to withdraw from some while walking so
closely with others?
I'm convinced that the answer could be found in these verses from Matthew
7:7-8, "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; he who seeks
finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."
Jesus assures his followers that if we are persistent and sincere, He is
able to provide the means for the otherwise impossible. Far too often
Christians do not have because we do not ask, or we ask with selfish motives
(James 4:2-3). Like a human father, the heavenly Father seeks to teach his
children patience, persistence, and diligence.
Talk with your Father in Heaven today. He is waiting to hear from you.
See you in Bible Class!
