What Do You Want? Ask and I Will Give!

DAY 135
2-6-10
2 CHRONICLES 1-3


Good Morning!

I was just thinking…how must power is at our disposal that we do not use? Science tells us that we use only a fraction of our brain power. It’s clear we use only a fraction of the physical power we have – we let atrophy set in. As a group, we don’t work together as well as we could, or should. We limit ourselves; while we have an all powerful God!

James tells us that “we don’t have because we don’t ask.” (James 4:2) Jesus says, “Ask and it will be given you.” (Matt.7:7) When Solomon became king, God approached him! “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!” (2 Chron. 1:7)

Because Solomon asked for wisdom and not wealth, God gave him all things. “God was with him and made him very powerful.” (2 Chron 1:1)

Perhaps a good spiritual exercise for us is working out our faith by asking God for the good things we need. We already know he’s a good father that will give us all things. “How will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?” (Rom. 8:32)

Spend some time in meditation and prayer, and think about unleashing the power of God in our lives. Pray knowing that God blesses and gives to those who use the gifts wisely. Exercise your faith. Grow in expectant prayer. The overwhelming biblical evidence clearly shows that God hears you.
