“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 with Him, but only that which I have shut. 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 perfect 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 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.
