2 Chronicles 1:10-12
1:10 Now give me wisdom and discernment so
I can effectively lead this nation.
Otherwise
no one is able
to make judicial decisions for
this great nation of yours.”
1:11 God said to Solomon, “Because you desire this, and did not ask for riches, wealth, and honor, or for vengeance on your enemies, and because you did not ask for long life, but requested wisdom and discernment so you can make judicial decisions for my people over whom I have made you king,
1:12 you are granted wisdom and discernment. Furthermore I am giving you riches, wealth, and honor surpassing that of any king before or after you.”
Hosea 6:3
6:3 So let us acknowledge him!
Let us seek to acknowledge the Lord!
He will come to our rescue as certainly as the appearance of the dawn,
as certainly as the winter rain comes,
as certainly as the spring rain that waters the land.”
Matthew 7:7-8
Ask, Seek, Knock
7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you.
7:8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Luke 11:9-13
11:9 “So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
11:10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11:11 What father among you, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?
11:12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
11:13 If you then, although you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
