Ask, Seek, Knock

Ask, Seek, Knock

“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.” 
Matthew 7:7,8.
I believe those words of Jesus quoted above. I believe that anyone who is truly looking for God will find Him.
I believe that provided we believe there is a God that if we search enough we will find him.
The Psalmist states,
                “The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” 
                                                                         Psalm 14:1.
I believe that.
Ben Zion Bokser wrote,
“I have not seen the robin but I know he is there because I heard him singing through my window from the tree-top outside.
I have not seen God.  But I have looked at my child’s eyes, and have been overwhelmed by the miracle of unfolding life.
I have watched the trees bedeck themselves with new garbs of green in the spring, and have been stirred by the miracle of continual rebirth.
I have looked at the stars, and have been overcome by the miracle of the grandeur and majesty of the universe.
I know that God exists, because I have heard the song of His presence from all the tree-tops of creation.”
For me it is inconceivable that the universe we live in was not made by God.
Albert Einstein said,
“Human beings vegetables or cosmic dust. We all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible player.”
Einstein whether he knew it or not, I believe got it right. The mysterious tune is life the invisible player is God.
The Psalmist said,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” 
                                                                                                              Psalm 19:1.
I am no scientist. I am simply a well educated layman that throughout my life have put a premium on learning. I much prefer to watch documentaries rather than drama’s in the media.
The love of learning was imparted to me by my father. He made it clear that we need to learn something every day even, especially from our mistakes.
 I believe it was Judah the Tibbon in twelfth century Spain who wrote,
“My son, make thy books thy companions.  Let thy cases and shelves be thy pleasure grounds and gardens pluck their roses, take their spices and their myrrh.  If thy soul be satiate and weary change from garden to garden, from furrow to furrow, from prospect too prospect, then will desire renew itself and thy soul be filled with delight.”
I believe that the true seeker of knowledge will, if they are open minded, and truly seeking will find God.
Think about it.
