Keeping On!

Reading:  Matthew 7,8,9
My Verse:  (7:7)  "Keep on asking and it will be given you;  keep on seeking and you will find;  keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you." 

I like how the amplified emphasizes "keep on".  I am to persevere in my walk with You, Lord.  I am to keep on keeping on!

You teach here that I a believer and follower of You will be known by my fruits. "Therefore, you will be fully known by your fruits." (v.7:20)  You teach that if I hear Your Word and heed Your Word I "will be like a sensible man who built his house upon the rock."  (v.7:24)  Not the foolish man who built upon the sand!

You show me through the centurion who came to You to heal his daughter that I must not only ask but believe You are able to do all that I ask and more!

You show me through the woman who suffered for 12 years - that seeking You is always the answer.  You  are the Healer.

You show through all the miracles - that  You are indeed a loving, compassionate God.  You want us to come to You, to ask You for our help.

From all this I see why I am to keep on asking You, seeking You, and knocking on Your door.  You will provide me all that I need and more.  You are the answer to life's problems.

"My foot has held fast to His steps; His ways have I kept and not turned aside."  (Job 23:11)

Help me, Lord, to keep on!
