My dear brothers and sisters, of FaithLine: “Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.” (Prov. 23:12)
According to the Word of God we are living in the last days “…IN THESE LAST DAYS God has spoken to us by his Son…” (Heb. 1:2)
“There will be terrible times in the last days…People will be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SUCH PEOPLE.” (2 Tim. 3:1-5)
How will we know who these people are who will try to mislead us? We ask the Lord: “MAKE ME KNOW YOUR WAYS, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth…” (Psa. 25:4-5)
Of course we should obey Jesus and, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” (Matt. 7:7-8) Ask, seek, knock. Notice the three different senses being used here. Asking is verbal; We are to use our mouths and petition God for our needs and desires. And we are to seek with our minds—this is more than asking; it is a setting of priorities and a focusing of the heart. To knock involves physical movement, one in which we take action. Although asking and seeking are of great importance, they would be incomplete without knocking.
IT’S ABOUT TRUSTING THE LORD WITH ALL OUR HEART…
FaithLine, the bible says: “MAKE ME KNOW YOUR WAYS, O LORD; Teach me Your paths.”
