“Don’t Just Knock Once!”
I love the story Jesus told in Luke 11 about the man who had guests coming late to his house and he had no bread! It was late, as he went to his friend’s house to knock on the door! But sadly enough, his friend was in bed with the children, and he did not want to get up, open the door, and give his friend bread! In Luke 11:8, the Bible tells us that he did not want to get up, but because of “his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth!”
We live in an orphanage with lots of kids! I hate it when I just get in bed and hear a “banging” on my door!! We try to ignore the knock, but it gets louder and my Rottie starts howling!! I will definitely get up and take care of the problem!!
Don’t ever let anyone tell you “to just ask God once!” When you are desperate, you must have “desperate faith!” Desperate faith will not take “no” for answer!! So, keep on knocking until the door opens!!
