Let Me In

Bible Reading: Matthew 7:7-12

Key Verse: Verse  7 – “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:”

Key Words: knock, and it shall be opened unto you


I read the following recently.  “When my daughter Michelle was six years old, we went to a hotel in Vail, Colorado.  My children were having great fun exploring all the features of the hotel in detail.  While my son and I were watching television in the bedroom, and my wife was taking a shower, Michelle was in the other room ‘exploring.’  Michelle began to knock on the door in the other room.  I turned toward the room and told her to stop knocking on the bathroom door while Mom was taking a shower.


“A couple minutes later we heard the faint knocking again.  I told her to stop it; this time with a little more force in my voice.  Once again she began to knock on the door, and now her knocking was accompanied by a muffled scream, ‘Let me in!’


“I was tired of listening to my daughter bother her mother like this.  I flew off the bed and went into the other room.  No one was there, yet the knocking continued.  She had locked herself outside the room and was beginning to panic.  I apologetically opened the door and granted her immediate entrance.”


Aren’t you glad that when we knock that God doesn’t become angry?  He just opens the door of blessing for us.

What to do: 

Don’t forget to knock.
