Re:Verse passage – Matthew 7:7-11 (day six)
At the time, many likely viewed God as indifferent to their life and needs, or worse, that he was only interested in keeping track of their misdeeds. Jesus’ words were intended to be paradigm-shifting: much like a father, God cares and is fully invested in your life.
I imagine his listeners had far more questions about that than whether or not we will get everything we ask for.
Jesus was not introducing a formula for getting what we want out of God; he was describing the kind of relationship we can have with God.
Wow, that was nice. Thanks for checking in. I look forward to your Saturday morning blog. I’ll check back later.
