Everything we receive from our fellow men, even from our dearest friends, is always restricted by the means of the giver. There is a limit to what even a multimillionaire is able to give.

God said to Solomon: "Ask what I shall give thee." Jesus said to His disciples: "Ask, and it shall be given you." and the Apostle frankly tells us: "Ye have not because ye ask not."

Christian friends  Have you been earnestly asking God in prayer for the things you need? Do you believe, without ever doubting, that God really answers prayer? Is your faith strong enough to take God at His word? Here is His fabulous offer: "Ask what I shall give thee."

      But say to God, "Your will be done,"
      Then trust His perfect way.
 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - Large asking results in large receiving.
