If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
During His earthly ministry, Jesus was always available to His disciples to answer any questions and to meet their needs.
As the bread of life, Jesus provided for their physical needs. Turning five loaves and two fishes into a feast for more than five thousand people.
As the light of the world, Jesus would enlighten their minds and open their eyes. He taught them deep spiritual truths hidden from the learned through the ages.
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Whenever they had questions and needs, the disciples had learned to go to Jesus and to ask Him.
Jesus gave His disciples broad and precious promises:
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Paul describes the blessings reserved for us in Jesus thusly:
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
And also in 2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV)
For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
There are great and awesome treasures waiting to be discovered in Jesus.
He is the Word made flesh.
He is the Lamb of God, the perfect sacrifice.
Since we have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, God has put us in Jesus and given us His righteousness, i.e. the righteousness of Jesus. We have the spirit of adoption, we no longer fear the wrath of God, but as God’s children, we can boldly approach the throne of grace. We need to be mindful not to ask for things that our flesh craves to inflame our lusts, for this would not be what Jesus would want.
Whatever your need may be, ask in the name of Jesus.
