We are free from the curse of the law forever, to those who receive freely, the gift of grace by faith alone. Our works to earn salvation,will only bring stress & worry, because only Jesus was able to fulfill the law and set us FREE! Won’t you turn to him today? He is waiting.

Even in the midst of judgment, opportunity to repent was given. If they would demonstrate genuine repentance, the Lord stood ready to forgive and bless. A lesson for all, that God is merciful, and wants all to repent and turn back to him.

God has given us all the weapons to fight the battle. Most all are defensive weapons, but only one is for offense. That would be the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. May we use all wisely, in the the strength of the Lord, and not foolishly in our own might, less we fail. Give God the glory, not ourselves.

Father, in the midst of all the troubles in this world, may we be your vessels, to Share the hope we have in Jesus. This world is only a temporary place, one one day you will restore it in perfect Harmony between nature and people, with you being the center of all things. For now, we pray for suffering, knowing that this is only temporary. May you show grace and mercy on those who need it most. Amen.

This is not some genie in a bottle type thing. This passage is about prayer. See notes below on Matthew Henry Commentary.

7:7-11 Prayer is the appointed means for obtaining what we need. Pray; pray often; make a business of prayer, and be serious and earnest in it. Ask, as a beggar asks alms. Ask, as a traveller asks the way. Seek, as for a thing of value that we have lost; or as the merchantman that seeks goodly pearls. Knock, as he that desires to enter into the house knocks at the door. Sin has shut and barred the door against us; by prayer we knock. Whatever you pray for, according to the promise, shall be given you, if God see it fit for you, and what would you have more? This is made to apply to all that pray aright; every one that asketh receiveth, whether Jew or Gentile, young or old, rich or poor, high or low, master or servant, learned or unlearned, all are alike welcome to the throne of grace, if they come in faith. It is explained by a comparison taken from earthly parents, and their readiness to give their children what they ask. Parents are often foolishly fond, but God is all-wise; he knows what we need, what we desire, and what is fit for us. Let us never suppose our heavenly Father would bid us pray, and then refuse to hear, or give us what would be hurtful.

Our needs are satisfied through the work of Jesus, and relationship he provides with the Father and Holy Spirit, to live abundantly, both now, and forever. How difficult it is, to see clearly, when we mistake wants with needs. It doesn’t mean that he might not bless us with some wants, but that is not the promse here.

The growth and maturing process of the follower of Jesus, is ongoing. While the physical body is deteriorating, the spiritual maturity of the believer, continues to grow to be more like JESUS (cf. Eph 3:16–20 ).

Understanding what we deserve before God, helps us be so grateful for what he didn’t give us, his wrath. Jesus took the penalty for what we should have gotten, eternal separation from God. Instead, we receive the blessing of what we could never do on our own, through Jesus perfect life. As God says, it is only the beginning of what we have to look forward to, both now, and for all of eternity.
