“I tell you whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mk11.24 ESV
One attitude that Brenda and I have come to appreciate is the one which says, ‘Do whatever it takes.” In other words, when it comes to loving God, or people, or doing what you know is good, right and true, be willing to do whatever it takes to do it. This outlook has seen us through some pretty tough times and in just about every arena imaginable.
Why would we think for a moment that if we are willing to do whatever it takes when we know it is the right thing to do, that God would be willing to do less. His word to us is that anytime we need something from Him in our efforts to love and serve Him, we should ask and expect to receive it. So sure is this promise we are told to ask and believe that we already have it. When it comes to His glory and our good, God is willing to do whatever it takes. If God expects us to do whatever it takes He most will give us whatever it takes. Ask Him! 5/31/2008 ts
