Concerning Life as It Is Supposed to Be

The Father’s Delight


From this morning’s quiet time reading and meditation on Matthew 7:11, I was struck with this:

Our Father delights in giving to his children the good things they seek.

I could clutter this post with a history of my own failure to believe this, or my failure as a father to model this. But if I let the truth stand, and look back upon my life, I have to say without equivocation, “This is true.”

Now, by God’s grace, this truth will inform my present and my future. I am not alone. Our Father delights in giving to his children the good things they seek.

(Matthew 7:11 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!)

    Remember this as you spend time around me and talk to me over the next couple of months dad. Remember your many prayers and mine as well. Then see God’s amazing blessings which none of us deserve. Love you!
