John 4:10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
A statement here made by our Lord stays the same now as it was then – if only people realised who Jesus is, they would ask Him for help and He would serve up feasts!
When we ask things of our God, are we asking as a person who asks another person – maybe they can give us what we need…
Or are we willing to ask as a person asking God – I know you can give this to me and I know you are willing to give it to me… please may I have it?
