Begging God vs Asking, Believing and Receiving. Its A Matter of Want vs Need.

Psalm 37:23-25NIV 23 If the LORD delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; 24 though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. 25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. 

The second scripture is a more familiar one: 

Matthew 7:7-12NKJV 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. 

First, both scriptures are true, because they are the Word of God.  Second, it requires unwavering belief and faith in God to patiently and diligently ask, trust and wait on God to do what He said He will do.  What trips us up a lot is in what we ask for and then trusting what God gives us, even if it isn’t right now or looks exactly like what we asked for.  This is tricky, because of our impatience, we jump at the closest thing to our prayers, instead of verifying with the Giver and reexamining what we have asked for and the reason(s) or motivation behind it. 

I have found that I have asked and diligently sought, prayed and waited for things that I wanted. You know, those things that only benefit me for my own selfish reasons.  This is where the begging and frustration sets in, when God doesn’t deliver what I asked.  However, each and every time that my desires and needs, line up with God’s Word and will bring Him and His Kingdom glory, He never fails to provide.

Again, it may not be in my time frame or come in a way I may have dreamed, but it is always better than I had ever imagined. 

So my prayer for us all is to trust God.  Ask Him to take our desires, wants and needs, and make them ones that will bring Him glory and not just ourselves.  Then have faith to wait on our Lord.  For He hears the prayers of His Children.  He is not deaf and He doesn’t play games with us.  He wants to bless His Children and provide for them, just as we would do for our own. 

Know that God loves you today, no matter what you did yesterday.  He is still deeply in love with you.

God bless.
