"When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures." James 4:3 NIV
Ouch! I remember having a real problem with this scripture! I had always been taught "ask and you shall receive," and "knock and the door will be opened."
As much as it hurt, I had to admit that I had overstayed my asking welcome. I had to admit that I had not been a good steward over what I had received, and I had gotten to a point where I DID NOT get what I asked for.
Then I began to ask for things that mattered . . . like discipline, wisdom, joy, and peace. And God answered by giving me EVERYTHING I asked for. Try it and see what happens. . .
