PROMISE #141 - MAY 21
Promise #141:
I know what you need before you even ask.
Matthew 6:8 (WEB)
Therefore don’t be like them,
for your Father knows what things you need,
before you ask him.
In Matthew 6, Jesus instructs the listeners on how to pray to their heavenly Father. They don't have to stand on street corners shouting prayers out loud so everyone can hear them, and they don't have to spend endless hours in repetitive babble, thinking that somehow that will influence God. God is a good Father, and He is simply looking for His kids to talk to Him.
In this passage of Scripture, Jesus tells us that our God and Father is so attentive to our needs that He actually knows what we need before we even ask Him for it! We don't have to shout to get His attention, or spend hours in vain repetition to convince Him to listen. He is already listening—even before we pray a single word!
What an incredible Father we have! He is not just attentive, but He is loving, good, and kind. He knows what you need before you even ask. This doesn't mean we shouldn't ask though. Because He delights when we take time in our own prayer closet just to talk to Him. Anytime... night or day!
