Ask, Seek, Knock

Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened” (Matt 7:7-8 NIV). The NIV Study Bible foot note explains, “Greek imperatives are used here, indicating constant asking, seeking and knocking.” I’m trying to picture myself standing before the Lord and He wants me to give an accounting for the times and situations in my life when I stopped asking, seeking and knocking.
