Ask, seek and knock persistently by Alive to God

Luke 11:9 So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

The words ASK, SEEK and KNOCK are in the present tense. We must constantly be asking, seeking and knocking. These words are a command to us. Those who keep on asking, seeking and knocking will receive. It will be given to you. You will find. The door will be opened to you. These are the rewards. They are all in the future tense. This indicates that between the asking and receiving there will be a period of time.

One of my favourtie Bible verses and one that often comes to mind. God is there, He doesn't go away. It is me who forgets to look for Him or reach out to Him. Why is He a last resort? Start your day with Him and take Him with you through out the day and thank Him each night for the lessons, experiences, courage, strength, and wisdom, and the Good Orderly Direction for the day.
