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 good things to those who ask Him! – Matthew 7:11, NKJV
My dad is the absolute worst! I can’t even begin to describe how horrible he is! Hold on, I really feel I should clarify before you get the wrong idea. My dad really isn’t bad at all. It’s just when you try to compare my dad with God, my dad gets the short end of the stick.
Prior to today’s verse Jesus says, “What father would give his son a rock instead of bread or a snake instead of a fish?” Any father who isn’t demented would never dream of doing such things. Jesus goes on to say, “Well you know how you would never do that to your sons or daughters, your good and generous gifts are evil in comparison to God’s.” Just let that sink in for a moment.
Next time you are asking, seeking, and knocking, have confidence that God will not only respond but it will be the absolutely perfect response.
