Yesterday was
Father’s Day in the United States. Some other countries celebrate and honor
fathers on different days than the third Sunday in June. So tell me about your
father…. Did/does he believe in God? Is/was he respectful of your mother…you,
or your siblings? Was he encouraging to you as you were growing up? Did he have
a sense of humor? Did you respect him?
Jesus had a
deep respect for His Father…our Heavenly Father. He knew Him well and it was
obvious that the Heavenly Father also respected His Son. Ask for anything in
Jesus’ name and you will receive it so that you will be filled with joy.
Anything? That’s what Jesus said.
-
Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on
earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My
Father who is in heaven. Matthew 18:19
-
If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do
it. John 14:14
-
Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father
for anything in My name, He will give it to you. John 16:23
So ask away—but
look also at your motives when you ask. Is it for yourself, your prosperity?
Will it be helpful to others?
RSVP: Jesus is offering to give you whatever you want. How
will you respond to Him today?
Prayer ~ Dear Jesus—the things I want are health for
family and friends, particularly thinking of Sarah Stallcup. Give her doctors
wisdom. Touch her body, healing her of this gallstone issue. Provide for the
needs of her, Bob, and their adorable children. Where there is hope—there is
joy. Give us all a joyful spirit. We praise You, Lord, and thank you that You
always hear our prayers.
