Good Gifts

Calvin Kochi

Scripture

11“You fathers—if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? 12Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not! 13So if you sinful people 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.”

Luke 11:11-13

Observation

As a father it is true that if our children ask us for thing. I would want to do it or get t for them. Especially like in this verse if they are asking me for their daily needs that is something that I willingly want to do. That is the same with God he want to provide for our basic need and give us even more He wants to give us good gifts his Holy Spirit.

Application

Knowing how to be a good father wasn’t that easy for me. For most of my life raising my boys was done with my own ways and understanding. I knew God but never had this thing called a relationship with God. I didn’t realize that God would talk to me. I was introduced to doing my daily devotions, and it was through doing it I began to hear Gods voice. God’s Word began to speak louder and louder. Today sometimes He is heard in a still and small voice in which the Holy Spirit whispers. That is why our Heavenly wants to give us His Holy Spirit all we need is to ask. Out of all the things that I could want for my children and grandchildren the best thing that I could do is to ask the Lord to fill them with His Holy Spirit.

Prayer

Lord fill my children and grandchildren with you Holy Spirit.
