Bible verse of the day
Today’s passage, read whole, with a short meaning, one step and a prayer. It is the same reading the Skies app brings this morning.
Today,
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 7:7–12
Ask, seek, knock
Jesus wants you to keep asking because of who you are asking: a Father far kinder than the best parent. Bring him the need you find hardest to say aloud, and trust his wisdom with the answer. Then let his generosity spill over, treating others the way you hope to be treated.
Today’s step
Write your request to God in one plain sentence, then pray it.
Pray
Father in heaven, I come like a child asking for bread. Here is what I need today. Teach me to keep asking, seeking, and knocking, and to give good things to others as you give to me. Amen.
How to read it
Read the passage twice: once to hear it, once to notice which words stay with you. Then read the meaning, take the step, and pray. A few minutes is enough.
