God is saying, look, if you just ask, it's going to be given to you.
If you seek diligently, you're going to find it.
If you keep knocking on the door, God is going to answer.
For everyone that asketh receive it, and he that seeketh find it, and to him that knocketh
it shall be opened.
And then he says in verse 9, or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will
they give him a stone?
Which of you who have kids, if your son comes and says, dad, I'm hungry, you're like, well,
take this rock.
Chew on this for a little bit.
You know?
No one would.
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Or if he ask for raising canes, would you give him Del Taco?
Nah, I'm just kidding.
I have to throw that in there.
I see some people are not laughing at all.
The service shall be cut down tonight to just a few people.
If ye then being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall
your father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
So he's basically saying like, he's saying like, use common sense.
Instead of doubting whether I'm going to provide something for you, just think about you and
your kids.
You give them good things, and here's the thing, he's saying like, you're sinful.
You are corrupt.
You're in your sinful flesh.
You're not perfect.
How much more me, God's saying, who's the Lord, who's righteous, who is perfect, how
much more is he willing to give good things to them who ask him?
And what he's emphasizing there is this, ask me.
Just ask.
