Knock Knock...

What is currently on your wish list? What are you asking God for right now? Has He given you things that you haven't even thought of or asked for??? Is that good or bad?

I recently starting about what's happening in my life.... then realized God has lately given me an abundance of "something" I asked for.... now I come to ask myself.... Can I handle it? and handle all of it like I asked for? Like God expects me to?

"Knock and it shall be given to you" but did I knock too much? or accidentally knock and He opened the door too wide for me? It made me think how I should prepare myself first before I ask for something. Too often times, we don't even know exactly what or why we want something, but we vaguely just ask....

On a flip side, when God asks me for something, do I do it with an obedient heart? or ignore it? or do it reluctantly? Are we really ready for what He will ask us to do, say or have?

It also made me think about my priorities. When God actually gives me something I asked for (or didn't' ask for).... am I be ready for it? can / do I put those things on my priority list? Or am I blind and foolish enough to put those blessings at the bottom of the list? or worse yet, don't even see them there.... like the Sun hiding behind the clouds.... Just because we can't easily see it or seek it, doesn't' mean it's not there right?

Here's what I told myself today......

1) Before I ask for it, be ready to "handle" it

2) Be ready to wait for it (with hopeful anticipation) when it doesn't come right away

3) Seek and Knock with a clear purpose and plan

4) Do something about it (instead of sitting and waiting for it to come to you)

With that in mind, I hope that we ALL be proactive in seeking and knocking for things we want to pursue in life! Ciao!!
