GOOD GIFTS

Matthew 7:7, 9-11

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: *Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

When parents buy something good for their children, it is not only the children that feel happy about it, the parents also have great joy seeing their children happy and enjoying what they got for them. Many times, parents make great sacrifices just to give good things to their children and see them happy. Beloved, this is the same way God feels about answering your prayers and giving you good things.

God likes to give you good gifts. God longs to be gracious to you, (Isa.30:18). God takes delight in your prosperity, (Psa.35:27). God wants you to enjoy. 1Timothy 6:17 says God gives us richly all things to enjoy. He is the Father of light and He likes us to give us good and perfect gifts, (James 1:17). Stop thinking that God likes to see you suffer and that God does not like answering your prayers. That is not the kind of Father He is.

He cares about every single detail of your life. That is why He did not only count but number every hair on your head, (Matt.10:30). He wants you to cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you, (1Pet.5:7). He wants to perfect all that concerns you, (Psa.138:8). Whenever you lack wisdom or any good thing, ask God in faith and believe that He will give it to you abundantly (James 1:5).

Payer Focus:
Thank God for His great care and love for you and ask Him in faith for every good thing that you desire.
