Scriptural Verse Reminder

 "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 he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." -Matthew 7:7-8

This was the verse of the day from yesterday. It touched me because I love this scriptural verse and I 'put it as my theme' since my birthday this year. It also touched me because this week has been rather hard and challenging. 

With being sick from Covid and not knowing when I will officially get better and receive a negative test result has really tested my patience. It's been so hard to not have a regular schedule and with missing work, it really has put things into perspective. 

So, this scriptural verse reminded me of how I am feeling and to continue to trust, but also ask for the grace and keeping persisting for that negative test result and full recovery. 

And this verse showed up in many ways too. A year ago (on Dec. 1st), I wrote in my notebook about this verse and the deep meaning for me at that time. It was also related to a talk I watched from a priest using this same scriptural verse last year.

And before I went to bed last night, I was reading through the Advent devotional. At the end of the text, this same bible verse came up and I thought God has really been trying to teach me something!
