“你们虽然邪恶，尚且知道把好东西给儿女，何况你们在天上的父，难道不更把好东西赐给求他的人吗？”
马太福音 7:11
“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!”
Matthew 7:11
In Matthew 7, Jesus teaches that we should bring our needs to God (v. 7), trusting Him with our requests. To illustrate, Jesus gives a case study in character: “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?” (vv. 9–10). For loving parents, the answer is obvious. But Jesus answers anyway, challenging us not to lose faith in our Father’s generous goodness: “If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (v. 11).
Father,
thank You for loving us so much more than even the best father here ever could.
Help us to do as Jesus said with everything that’s on our hearts; to ask, seek, and knock in our relationship with You.
