---THE FATHER'S GOOD GIFTS~~
----(Please Read/ Matthew 7:7-11)
--One of God’s most generous assurances to His children is found in today’s reading from Matthew 7. Not only are we granted permission to come to the Father with our requests, but He also promises to answer our prayers. However, you may be thinking, 'If this is true, why hasn’t He given me what I asked for?'
The key to understanding this passage is found in verses 9–11: “What man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? ... If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!” Think in terms of parenting. A child may want the latest video game, but his parent knows that a different gift would be better for him. In the same way, the God who made us is more keenly aware of our needs than we are (Matt. 6:8).
Because of
spiritual immaturity or the limitations of our humanity, we may ask for what we perceive as good and necessary, when it isn’t truly in our best interest. But our Father gives what He knows is more beneficial. The qualities of Christlike character are among His best gifts, but these develop through trials and testing. We may feel He’s given us a snake instead of a fish, but the problem is with our lack of understanding, not with the Lord’s goodness.
--When it seems that the Lord isn’t answering your requests, remember that He’s a loving Father, and consider what good gifts He is giving instead. Although it may take years to gain a godly perspective, in time you’ll say,
“Lord, You were right. Thank You for giving me exactly what I needed.”**--IN TOUCH~~**[
Most of our prayers are for selfish reasons. Whereas they should be firstly to
"THANK JEHOVAH GOD FOR ALL HE HAS ALREADY DONE FOR US." "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
ALL!, that includes you and me. Repent of your sins, ask God to forgive you and to help you to live according to His Word.
"Does not the God of all the earth do right?" He's the Creator, of course He does right! Dare we question his wisdom and knowledge? NEVER! He will answer in His timing and according to what
'HE KNOWS IS RIGHT' for you. Give your problems to the Lord and leave them there. Yes, keep praying, but
TRUST HIM! JESUS LOVES YOU! (Please Read Colossians Chapter 1). Jesus rescued us out of darkness and transformed us into His glorious light.
JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD! There are only 4 Chapters in COLOSSIANS. Take time to read His Word, and
'then' you will see Him working in your life.
"You are loved with an everlasting love and underneath are His everlasting arms. Jesus died to save you from Hell. Please do not let another day pass if you have not already invited Him into your heart, repented of your sins, and do read His Holy Word, the Bible, daily. When we pray, we speak to our Lord Jesus. When we read His Word, the Holy Bible, He speaks to us. Ask Him to show you how to live according to what is right in 'HIS' eyes. Jesus loves you!
Jesus died for us to go Heaven. Let's live for Him to spend eternity praising our Maker, Creator, Savior, Redeemer, and Lord above all lords.//
