Ask and Receive


Has someone ever given you a wonderful gift?  But it wasn’t quite what you wanted?  Caleb, in the Old Testament, had several sons who were heirs to his wealth.  Caleb had only one daughter, Achsah, and he gave her an inheritance as well.  But Caleb’s daughter, Achsah, wasn’t satisfied with her inheritance of land.  She needed water to go along with the land to make it prosperous.  So, Achsah went to her father, Caleb and said in Judges 1:15, "… Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.”  Achsah came boldly to her father and asked for what she needed.  And as a loving father, Caleb gave her what she asked for.  Hey, do you come boldly before your heavenly Father and ask for what you need?  God delights in giving to His dear children.  He loves you dearly!  So, ask Him for what you need.  This is not the “Prosperity Gospel”; this is asking God for what you need.  God will give to you from His bountiful stores of riches the things that you need!  Don’t be timid … just ask Him!
