Reverence and Awe

» Today's reading at Blue Letter Bible

A reflection based upon this morning's reading:

The one prayer of sinners that we know the LORD will answer, is the repentant prayer for salvation, based upon saving faith in Jesus Christ. That seems to be the context of the text for this morning's reading (Mat 7:7). The Lord uses this promise in the context of talking about the narrow gate to eternal life and the broad path to destruction.

As well, whatever the believer needs along the path of eternal life, is promised by Jesus. We can ask in faith that He will provide for our needs. Of course, the issue is what do we really need versus what we want. He promises to give us the desires of our heart, when our heart is fully devoted to Him.

Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. (Psa 37:4-5 NKJV)

Let us today ask the LORD what might be blocking us from delighting ourselves in Him, and to help us change whatever is necessary in our lives, so that we might be able to find our delight in Him.
