Re:Verse passage – Luke 11:5-13 (day two) If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” vs. 13
Do you ever reach a point with your friends or family where you stop asking for help? You don’t want to be ‘that guy’ where everyone runs for cover when they see you coming. Maybe you have things going on in your life that are just not quite right, but you you think you have gone to the well one too many times. When we think this way about the Lord we have sorely misjudged his capacity to listen. This kind of thinking leads to a skewed relationship with the Lord. If this passage says anything, it speaks to the demand that we be persistent. God understands our situation, but he also requires us to be honest and completely trusting in his ability to hear and act according to his great will.
As an aside, let me add my request before my church family. Today, the Youth Worship team begins day three of ministry in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We will be serving all week long in missions, food banks, and other ministries that serve the underprivileged. Yesterday, they led worship for a church in Calgary and sang for a retirement community. We will sing in several other places along the way. I am asking you to pray for their strength, rest, endurance, and boldness.
Prayers and blessings for safety, continued energy and spiritual blessings.
Praying for change of hearts and blessings for the people they are serving. Thank you Pastor Aaron for all you do.
