Hello guys, read & be enlightened in God's word.
Text: Matthew 7:11
"If you then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father which is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him?"
Our God is a good God. It is out of His goodness that He lavishes us with good gifts. This attribute also stems from the fact that He is righteous. Remember Jesus' illustration on the good and bad tree. Whatever we do or say is always a reflection of what is on the inside of us. Therefore, God gives good gifts because He is good.
The bible says that He gives us freely all things to enjoy (1Tim 6:17). Be it good health, money, houses, jobs, every good and perfect gift comes from God(James 1:17).
God's ultimate gift to us is the gift of His dear Son, Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. It's indeed a rare and precious gift. Also, in Romans chapter 8 verse 32 a very important question is asked: "He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all-- how will He not also along with Him graciously give us all things?"
Today, let us come to God with fresh and eager expectations. Jesus said if man who is naturally evil knows how to give good gifts to his children, how much more will He give to children through the Holy Spirit? With this, we can confess everyday like the Psalmist: "Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever!"(Ps 23:6)
Shalom
