Ask and It Shall Be Given...

"Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full."
(King James Bible)

"This is what I want you to do: Ask the Father for whatever is in keeping with the things I've revealed to you. Ask in my name, according to my will, and he'll most certainly give it to you. Your joy will be a river overflowing its banks!"
(The Message Bible)

~ John 16:24


I used to think the piece of scripture about asking God what you want and it be given unto you was to be reckoned with. I mean I have always revered the word of God but this particular verse I didn't completely have faith in it. Well I must tell you, I was doing myself a disservice. Gods word is true.

God is so ready to give us the desires of our hearts but the key is to delight ourselves in Him. Put Him first in life and all that you desire will surely come to pass. The thing about putting God first in your life allows Him to trust you with what He wants to bless you with. He is faithful. He is NOT like man that He should lie. Our thoughts and desire come into alignment with what He wants for us and them He is more than happy to bless us accordingly.

Yep!! It's that simple. I don't have all that I would like in life YET and that is because of my faith and disobedience. But as I continue to put the Lord first and acknowledge Him in everything, I will reap every vision, dream and aspiration in my life.

I encourage you today. Put Him first. It doesn't get any simpler than that. I mean, what a deal huh!? I'll take it. You should too...

Let's pray...

Lord, thank you for Your faithfulness and commitment to us. We pray for lots of things but first and foremost we pray to be pleasing to You and put You first. In doing this please find it to be Your great pleasure to grant us our hearts deepest desires. We believe and we receive in Jesus Holy name. Amen!
