“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” -Matthew 7:7
I started thinking about this verse after it was posed as a question from an esoteric perspective, particularly of what does the idea mean, to knock. It was concluded that along life's journey we are in a process of discovery, where we first ask a question, we seek for an answer, and then we try that answer as to whether it is true by knocking, perhaps on doors of those more experienced.
The Christian understanding of the verse is not much different but rather than the discovery depending on ourselves, it is through God that His will is made known to us. We ask Him through prayer, then we seek for an answer through His word, further prayer, or perhaps with guidance from others strong in the faith. Most importantly with perseverance we wait upon Him, we knock, and in His time, His will is made known and we can be confident he will deliver!
