Matthew 7:7 reads: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”(NIV)
I was always fascinated by this line for a variety of reasons, including the fact that seeking and knocking start with the curiosity of asking – and when taking the first letters of the three pieces of advice: ask, seek, knock – you get ask.
