BOLDNESS
Wk 24 Day 7

Luke 11:10, 13b
"For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened... how much more your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

.. Boldness in asking the Father (v. 8)
.. There is a reward to those who boldly come to God and asks, seeks, and knocks.
.. He'll give us what we need according to His will.
.. He promises to give us the Holy Spirit if we ask.
.. If we ask for the Holy Spirit to guide us, He will give Him to us.
.. He will gladly give the HS and not otherwise (v. 11)

.. Have I really asked? There are times that I forget how close of a connection I have with God. I have access to Him when I talk to Him. He is not far from me. In fact, He hears everything. Yet, He waits until I myself asks. Knowing that God will open the door for me if I knock; receive if I ask according to His will; find when I seek... then I must do these all the time. The reason why I do not receive, no doors opened, and not find what I seek is cause I still yet haven't asked - John 16:24. I gotta make it a habit to be bold in coming to my Father!

:: Oh Lord, thank you for the opportunity of being your child. May you change me continually to be more like Your Son Jesus. Forgive me for the times that I have not been so abiding with Your Spirit. I pray that you will help me to remember these words of Yours and to not only hear them but to apply them (11:28) just as You said, Jesus. I just lift everything to You. In Jesus' name, amen!
