Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Mathew 7:7)
This scriptural promise is repeated more than any other in all of scripture. Obviously, this promise is of great importance to the Lord. So it should be for all of us who are seeking to strengthen our faith and testimony of Christ. The promise is simple yet profound. It spells out exactly what we should do if our souls are hungering for faith and truth. If we will ask, seek, and knock with unwavering faith, it will be made known to each of us.
