For Lazy People, But You Should Read It Too

“For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.” Today’s text is for those who are lazy or give up easily. It is our persistence that wins the victory on every side. If we never ask, we’d never know or understand for ourselves. If we never seek out things we’d never enjoy the rewards of discovery, nor would we be in line to receive from the Lord (Matthew 6:33). If we’d never knock, all doors would be closed to us. Just like a traffic light that has a sensor, if you pull up to a red light but stop too far back, you’d never trigger the sensor to change the light green so you can be on your way. Go all the way up to the door of your challenges and knock so God can open it and you can be on your way to the next one (learn the process and you won’t feel the battle as much). We cannot sit home and believe God for everything without putting work into it. Just like your body is dead without the spirit, so is your faith dead without corresponding actions (James 2:26). For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks finds, and everyone who Knocks the door will be opened. This is the Lord’s promise to you. We must do our part, or nothing will change from where you are now.
