Luke 11:11-13 My Father Has Cattle On A Thousand Hills

Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?  Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”

We are described as being made in the image of God.  God is presented to us for our understanding as our heavenly Father.

The Father is the centerpiece of the deity of the Triune God.  In yesterday’s lesson, we learned that we should take all things in our life before God.  The reason for this is because the Father is good.  Today, Jesus reminds us that even our sinful earthly fathers know how to do well with their children. When their children come to them in need, our fathers give to us from their riches.  God the Father does not have the limitation that our earthly fathers have.  Father God does not give to us from His riches, instead He gives to us “out of His riches.”  His storehouse of wealth is without limit which is the reason that nothing is impossible for God, especially to those who live Him and are called according to His purpose.

Daily Prayer:  Father, teach me to come to You according to Your will so that I may see Your glory in my life.  In Jesus name I pray Amen.
