Child's Expectations!

Though unfortunately today some homes and the relationships within them are not as they ought to be, generally speaking, children anticipate good things from their parents. Knowing a father’s love and interest in their life, a child will not hesitate to bring up the things they desire to receive. A loving father will then grant those requests with the exercise of a bit of discretion.

With regard to our HEAVENLY FATHER, Jesus declared. . .
“(7) ASK, and it will be given to you; SEEK, and you will find; KNOCK, and it will be opened to you. (8) For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. (9) Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? (10) Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? (11) If you then, who are 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 7:7-11 ESV)

As children of God, do we recognize His eagerness to bless us? With a good expectation in view of our earthly fathers, “HOW MUCH MORE” should our expectation be toward God! Are we content living in His love and receiving what He sees as best? Though once a year is marked on our calendar as a day to celebrate fathers -- and we should let them know we do appreciate them more than just one day a year -- let us also recognized “HOW MUCH MORE” every day is a day to thank and honor our HEAVENLY FATHER for His gracious generosity for both our physical and spiritual wellbeing.

Have a great day DEEPLY APPRECIATING THE LOVING INTEREST OF OUR GOD!
