[PD Devotional] 56. The Harvest Principle: Expect God to Respond
¡°If you, then, though 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!¡± (Matthew 7:11 NIV)
If you¡¯re saying, ¡°God, I¡¯m looking to You as the only source of my supply; and when I have a need, I¡¯m going to plant a seed,¡± then you can expect God to send a harvest.
God will provide the harvest from the seed you planted not because you¡¯ve worked yourself into a frenzy or psyched yourself up, but simply because of who God is. He¡¯s faithful, and He can be depended on. He will provide for your needs; He will fulfill His promises.
Now understand this: God¡¯s no vending machine. He¡¯s not a genie jumping to your every command and He¡¯s not your servant. But He is a loving father, who constantly proves the principles He established through His Word. He shows us people throughout the Bible who believe God and say, ¡°I¡¯m going to give when I don¡¯t have it, whether it is money, time, energy, ideas, or empathy.¡±
The Bible says, ¡°If you, then, though 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!¡± (Matthew 7:11 NIV) and ¡°If your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead?¡± (Luke 11:11 NLT)
No way! God loves His children and God is waiting to do in your life what you cannot imagine.
