KNOCKING

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. Rev 3:20

God is so gracious. He doesn't wait for us to come to him, but instead He comes to us, no matter what condition we are in! He will knock on our door. That knock will sometimes be soft and slow, patiently awaiting our answer, and He gives us that power to answer his knock. At other times he may be banging with all his might to get our attention, as we may be asleep or ignoring him at the time. But He is persistent. Thank God! We not only have to hear his voice and recognize it, we have to open the door for him. He actually gives us the strength and helps us to open the door. He then enters to be with us. He will and eat with us, and we will eat with him, sharing a family meal, an intimate gathering of those he loves.

Thank you Lord, Jesus, for coming to me in my weakness and taking care of me, even helping me to receive your assistance, and then supplying my every need! Amen.
