Do we have the Faith to ask God for Your Needs?

Verses:  Matthew 7:7-11

My thoughts about the verses:

As a society in general we want the best for our children.  We believe that our children are a blessing from Heaven.  Many of us can never imagine hurting a child no matter what.  Therefor we have to accept that this scripture focuses on this knowledge.

Jesus teaches us two lessons in these verses.  The first lesson that we learn is that we need to treat others with respect.  We are to treat our children and others with love and dignity.  We have to accept that we are responsible for the welfare of those that we support.

We are to provide our loved ones with their necessities.  It goes further than that we are to show respect and dignity to those that are less fortunate.  We are to help people as we are able.  Simple things as a smile have a way of providing a warm glow in people’s life.  We have to provide these needs so that people can live in a state of happiness.

Think about it this way. What would you say if someone mistreated a child or someone else?  Would you step forward and tell them what they are doing is wrong?  See our conscience requires us to be true to the Spirit that lives within us.  So it is no wonder that we who are Children of God fight for those that we see are hurting. 

The second lesson that we learn is that God will provide more for us than anyone else in our entire life.  Who else would give their child up for the lives of others?  This is a sacrifice that we cannot understand.  What we have to come to accept that God will provide all our worldly needs if we allow God to.

All that is required of us is to have faith.  We have to understand that when we call upon God’s name God will provide our needs.  God is ready to give us all we need.  Yet, we have to be willing to come to God and accept what God is willing to give us. 

We are not to act surprised when God gives us what we are asking for.  Essentially what we need to do is trust and has faith in God.  Every time we put our faith in God we are given what we need and desire.  The next time you are worried about the future simply ask at the door of Heaven and you will receive.  This is the promise God has given to us.

Prayer:

We praise you God for your love.  We thank you for the sacrifice on the cross.  We praise you for providing all our needs.  Dear God we ask you give us the Spirit to help those in need.  We ask you to help us accept what you are willing to freely give us.  Help us each day walk closer to you.  In the name of the Savior we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Do you trust Jesus?  Do you have faith that God will give you all you will ever need?  Will you help others that are hurting?  Are you willing to reach out in the society and take a stand against the injustice of the world?
