A Daily Devotional About whatever you ask… Mark 11:22 - 24 "Have
faith in God," Jesus answered. 23 "I tell you the truth, if anyone
says to this mountain, `Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in
his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have
received it, and it will be yours. (NIV) What do we ask for in prayer?
Do we ask for all the selfish things and "stuff" we want or do we
surrender up ourselves in unselfishness to Christ? If we ask for selfish things
we may receive them but we will not want them after we have them. If we ask for
unselfish things by not asking anything for ourselves, we will not have anything
for ourselves, except the mighty blessings of God. This verse is not so much
about getting what you want. The verse is about the doubt in your heart. When
the doubt in your heart is gone, when there is not a shred of a question about
what God wants from you, there is left in your heart no request for yourself.
When all the doubt in your heart is gone so is all the selfish pride, all the
selfish ambition, and all the selfish making of lists of what you want God to
provide. What about the issue of moving the mountain? When your pride is gone,
the mountain can stay where the mountain now rests because you find God did not want
the mountain moved.
When you find God did not want the mountain moved, then the mountain disappears. |
