How much of God do we really want? And how little will we settle for? Luke 11:9-10 is a very well known piece of Scripture in which Christ tells us to “Ask and it will be given to you, Seek and you will find, Knock and the door will be opened to you.” Why all three of these? Why not just “Ask and it will be done for you”? Because not every prayer is going to be answered that simply. Sometimes we get what we ask for from the Lord with a simple prayer of faith… and sometimes we have to seek Him a little bit more. Sometimes after asking AND seeking we find ourselves in front of a locked door that is blocking our path. At any point along this journey that we choose to stop, we will leave with a lovely selection of parting gifts and all the prizes we have already won, but not the FULL VICTORY that lies on the other side of that door. We will still be surrounded by “tree people”. But if we press on for that second, third, or however many “touches” it will take before our full prayer is answered, He WILL open that door.

It took over SEVEN YEARS for Super Mario 3D World to finally get that second touch, but it will be well worth it when everyone who missed out the first time finally gets to see what all the fuss was about. Hopefully He doesn’t make you wait seven years in between touches for your miracle… truth be told I am just now seeing the full answers to some of my prayers that were MANY YEARS in the making. But He has been faithful to His promises and He has never failed to move a mountain that He promised to move… as long as we are determined not to settle for less than His very best.
