“Ask and
it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be
opened to you” (Luke 11:9, NIV).
There
is no closed door. He waits for me to seek Him, and the promise is that I will
find Him. I will discover that intimacy which makes the struggles and hardships
in my life simple. The spiritual struggle that I face in finding peace is caused
by unrest within myself.
Discord
does not exist in His spiritual life. Spiritual harmony is His promise for my
life. When there is a stronghold in my life that needs to be conquered, I lose
that perfect peace. My spiritual life with Christ must be deeply intimate. When
I seek Him, I discover all I face is nothing compared to the perfection of peace
I find in my relationship with Him. He brings all that is perfection into my
life. His promise is all I need‒perfect peace, perfect love, perfect harmony. He
brings power to overcome all that I face. He makes my life perfect no matter
what happens. He brings harmony to all that attempts to bring discord. No weapon
that comes against me will survive. I will survive in His peace and promise
because He is my life.
So very
often I lack the power and promise of His presence because I have lost that
intimacy. I believe He has failed in His promise, but it is not Him. It is I who
have failed because I have not sought that deep precious intimacy that gives
brings all supply and all harmony and all peace into my life. I will seek Him,
and I will ask. I will knock, and He will open the door to all His promises. I
will more than survive in Him. Nothing that comes against me will prosper. I
will be the one to prosper in faith because He has become the harmony of my
life.
