Mat 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
The above presents three different forms of seeking the things that we need from God….asking , seeking and knocking. The phrase signify to seek with earnestness, diligently and with perseverance.
Everyone who asks aright, that prays in faith and in submission to the will of God will have his prayers answered. They may not always get the very thing they ask, but he will give what is better. A parent will not always confer the very thing which a child asks, but he will seek the welfare of the child and give him what he thinks will be most for it’s good ( Albert Barnes’ NT Commentary)
The greatest tragedy is to be in want simply because you have not taken time to ask , seek,and knock. Mat 7:8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
