So, armed with bug spray, I went out to do battle. S I got stung. Five times. I don’t like being stung by insects. But better me than my kids or wife. Taking care of my family’s well-being is at the top of my job description after all. My children recognized a need, and they asked me to address it. They trusted me to protect them from something they feared. PATH In Matthew 7, Jesus teaches that we too should bring our needs to God (v. 7), trusting Him with our requests. To illustrate, Jesus gives a case study in character: “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?” (vv. 9–10). For loving parents, the answer is obvious. But Bees and Snakes Jesus answers anyway, challenging us not to lose faith in our Father’s generous goodness: “If you, then, though BIBLE READ: MATTHEW 7:7–11 you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (v. 11).

But Jesus assures us that even the best earthly father’s love is eclipsed If you, then, though you are evil, know how by God’s love for us. to give good gifts to your children, how much Father, thank You for loving us so much more than even the best father here ever could.
