August 24, 2010 Ask God

Today’s Bible Reading: Jeremiah 33; Jeremiah 34; Psalm 74; 1 John 5 (The Message)

Scripture Focus:

Jeremiah 33:3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.’

1 John 5:13-15 My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God’s Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion. And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he’s listening. And if we’re confident that he’s listening, we know that what we’ve asked for is as good as ours.

Observation:

God wants me to call on him. He not only promises to answer, but he promises to tell me marvelous and wondrous things I could never figure out on my own! Boldness and freedom to call on God come when I believe in Jesus, God’s Son, and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have eternal life. Then I am free to ask according to his will, and I can be sure he’s listening and will give me what I ask for.

Application:

God invites you to call on him, so call on God with confidence, boldness, and freedom. Ask him for whatever you need that is according to his will. He will listen and answer.
