HIS VOICE DAILY DEVOTIONAL
TUESDAY, 13TH SEPTEMBER 2022
TOPIC: THE FATHER GIVES I
TEXT: MATHEW 7:11
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? KJV
Our heavenly Father gives good things. His ability to give isn’t dependent on our character or disposition towards Him. He gives because he loves. The testimony of the depth of his love towards all men in the world is the gift of his Son Jesus Christ. With Christ as an eternal gift of life to all men, God our Father is able to give us everything else according to his will for us and our desire in Him.
Dear child of God, you are yet to come to the full realization of how willing God is to give you good things. James 1:17 says; Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. KJV
With God as our Father, there is no variableness neither shadow of turning. This means that he doesn’t change and his actions are not subject to feelings or situation. He is not a man that changes with time, our Father is a Spirit, He who dwells in Light. Hallelujah!
With this understanding, you should ask Him and be willing to receive from Him good things. God compared himself with our earthly father, who despite their frailty would not give a serpent to us when we ask for fish and wouldn’t give a stone when we ask for bread. He said how much more will He, who has no scent of evil is willing to give us good gift.
Is there anything good you desire of God? Ask him, He will give you, he isn’t wittholding anything from you. If there is a delay, ask Him again to know what is happening so that you won’t be working in disobedience or ignorance. Our Father want us to trust in Him more than anything or anyone else. He desires that we trust and lean on his love for us.
We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him. 1 John 4:16 AMP
Do you believe in the love that God has for you?
PRAYER
My Father, forgive my faithlessness in the sincerity of your love towards me. I cease from being worked up, agitated and frustrated as a result of my worries. I trust in your ability to give when I ask and your overwhelming love that care for me more than I can imagine. I rest solely in your arms now and forever in Jesus’ name. Amen
