Key Verse: “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?” (Matt. 7:11)
Would you, as a parent, plan,
purpose, and will for your children to go through life poverty-stricken, sick,
downtrodden, downcast, down-and-out, with their nose to the grindstone? No!
Assuredly not!
My younger brother had a
difficult time getting his education. Our father left when this brother was
only six months old. He graduated from high school during the Depression by
working the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift at a local cotton mill and then going to
school immediately after work.
In time, this brother married,
had a son, and became a very successful businessman. He said to me – and I
guess this has been a driving force in my brother’s life – “I’d rather let my
boy die now than to have it like I had it. But I’m going to see to it that he
doesn’t have it rough like I did.”
My brother worked hard to provide
a better life for his family than he had known growing up. Just looking at it
from the natural standpoint, he did all this because he loved them. And that’s
what Jesus meant when He said that if natural men know how to give good gifts
to their children, how much more will our loving Heavenly Father give good
things to those who ask Him!
