We come to truth not by studying or thinking, but by revelation. Few of us could study or think long enough, deeply enough, persistently enough, to begin to approach the truth, even if it were possible to do so. But thanks be to God, He gives His gifts to the poor and the humble, not to the sleek and the strong: "You have not because you ask not----[Ask]* and it shall be given unto you, overflowing, without measure, pressed down, running over...."
All we need do is ask, and what we need is ours. The wisdom of the world cannot match the wisdom of Jesus Christ residing in the smallest of His followers.
*The Scripture actually says, "Give, and it shall be given unto you...." I am applying the phrasing here to express what happens also when we ask....see Matthew 7 and Luke 11.

I'd like more explanation of the scriptural "ask" vs. "give."
