Luke 11:5-10 
And He (Jesus) said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, because a friend of mine has come to me from a journey and I have nothing to serve him’; and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’ I tell you, even if he will not get up and give him anything just because he is his friend, yet because of his shamelessness he will get up and give him as much as he needs. 

“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, it will be opened. 

God appreciates our PERSISTENCE! We are to seek Him DILIGENTLY! We lost complete fellowship with Him in the Garden and He has been seeking to renew it ever since! God pursues us. That should be such a wonderful comfort for us! 

There is a wonderful example in Genesis 28:12 when Jacob falls asleep and dreams of a ladder to heaven with angels moving up and down between heaven and earth. Angels are “Malek,” messengers! They are relaying messages and tasks back and forth between heaven and earth. Why? As a bridge between us and God in the lost fellowship of a broken original covenant. 

Fast forward to John : where Christ tells Nathanael: ‘Most assuredly I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.’”

Jesus (God) seeks to redeem and restore that fellowship with His creation so much that He became MAN and has BECOME the ladder that Jacob dreamed of! He has and is RESTORING our fellowship with our creator by becoming the bridge between heaven and earth. 

God has been persistent throughout history with His plan of redemption and restoration. Are you being persistent in seeking that redemption and restoration as well? He is leading by example, like any good parent would. My prayer for you is that you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul, knocking persistently so that He will open the door to you! The reward is ETERNAL. 

God bless you all and may you find what you seek in the LORD.
