When partnering with your family to know, love, and follow Jesus, we strive to create and share content filtered by the Head-Heart-Hands model.
Head: the knowledge of God and His Word | Heart: the personal connection from scripture | Hands: a missional mindset
Read Matthew 7:7-11.
Head
What do you think these verses are telling us about who God is? (A good, safe, generous, loving Father who loves to give good gifts to His children.)
Heart
What do you think are the “good things” God gives to those who ask Him? —A new bicycle? A fast car? Parents to stop fighting? Not always. I’ve learned that the things God gives are far better than stuff, and He is more constant than everything changing around us. God gives us His love, salvation, forgiveness, peace… Himself! He is always with us, no matter what!
Hands
Here’s what I challenge you to do this week:
1) Ask! Ask God to show you that He is with you throughout the day.
2) Seek! Look for Him throughout the day—in creation, in conversation, when people help you and you find ways to help others—look for Him!
3) Knock! Keep on Asking God for the good things we’ve talked about today, and keep on Seeking Him out throughout the day.
Prayer: Father in Heaven, I thank You for listening when I talk to you. Thank you for always giving me what is best for me. Even when you say “no” or “not right now” to something I’ve asked for, I can trust You because You are wise and good, You are always with me, and You know what is best for me.
