S. Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV) 7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
O. Jesus is teaching on the topic of being careful to judge others in areas we do also have our own failures in. He then transitions into the topic of being givers of good things.
Jesus reminds His listeners that God is a giver of good things. We can realize God’s giving character when we ask of Him; when we Seek Him out and when we knock at His door. He promises to be faithful to help us receive, find and enter through open doors.
So, in the same way and in everything - that is what we should do for others - others should see us as givers of good things and not judgmental.
A. I will continue to practice non judgmentalism and I hope demonstrate God’s character of being a person who is a giver of god things. I am thankful for all God does for me and pray that I may pass those blessings along to others.
P. Thank you Father for your word and for being a loving giver of good things. Holy Spirit fill me and guide me to be to others as such a giver as the Father is - a giver of good things that brings out the best and blesses people. In Jesus’ name.
