Read Matthew 7:7-12 and do the following exercises:
- “If, then, you who are evil know how to give good gifts, how much more will God in heaven give you good gifts?” For some this this is the hardest lesson of all: believing that God will give us what is truly good in life. Take some time to be honest with yourself – what is keeping you from believing that God is truly good and trustworthy?
- Are your deepest beliefs determined by your experiences of life, or by scripture, or something else?
- How does our truest, deepest concept of God determine the way in which we treat others?
- If someone were given the task of determining your beliefs about God based solely on how you treat the poorest among us, the richest among us, and your enemies – what conclusion would they come to?
- What is your prayer after reading this lesson?
