Mathew 7:7 Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you:
Mathew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask
in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
A preacher and an atheistic
barber were once walking through the city slums.
Said the barber to the preacher:
"This is why I cannot believe in a God of love. If God was as kind and
loving as you say, He would not permit all this poverty, disease, and squalor.
He would not allow these poor bums to be addicted to dope and other
character-destroying habits. No, I cannot believe in a God who permits these
things."
The minister was silent until
they met a man who was especially unkept and filthy. His hair was hanging down
his neck and he had a half-inch of stubble on his face.
Said the minister: "You
can't be a very good barber or you wouldn't permit a man like that to continue
living in this neighborhood without a haircut and a shave."
Indignantly the barber answered:
"Why blame me for that man's condition? I can't help it that he is like
that. He has never come in my shop. I could fix him up and make him look like a
gentleman!"
Giving the barber a penetrating
look, the minister said: "Then don't blame God for allowing the people to
continue in their evil ways, when He is constantly inviting them to come and be
saved."
Truth be told, God can't change
you unless you step forward and ask God to help you change for the better.
Take a step for God to help you
resolve your life’s issue.
This simple step of studying the scriptures can change your life dramatically.
Hundreds of thousands of
Christians have experienced the power of scripture meditation.
Be a doer and not just reader of
God's Word.
