Matthew 7:1-14 KJV
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 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?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

As the little boy sat working his math problem he find it difficult to do, so as his friend worked his, he came looking over his shoulder and said work it this way and it will solve the whole problem. Will his friend listen to the little boy. The friend and the little boy both got a wrong answer. Why are you trying to remove your friends problem if yours is not solved. It no different then judging a person with a problem and you still have the same problem. The solution will not work for either of you. Stop turning your friends into science experiment. Simple enough, and do not try and remove the problem from someone unless you have a solution that will work. We all think we know what is best even for our nations economy but does anyone solution really work. The answer is maybe, because God's economic will work. I still struggle with my own economic issues and yet I see a light at the end of the tunnel if nothing goes wrong and the problem is many things happen over time to change people economics. The answers of life is not solved in a day or with a quick answer, it must come with the solution of being able to overcome the problem more quickly and easily, with success. Those that face economic crisis of Cov 19 will further reach there goals in life more quickly while others struggle with no end in sight for decade, depending on what life deals a person. Did the rich loose money, I do not doubt they did, but they too were in the same boat as everyone else in regard to loss. Are we in a place we judge what we can not see is own blindness to life problems.

Even evil fathers give good gifts to their children. We have to ask how many evil fathers really know today how to give good gifts to their children? One hears of abuse case only to learn the child knew to report that problem but because the father feed, cloth, and gave him a place to stay, he feared not the abuse, because he did not know what would be like somewhere else. The child had heard horror stories of another abused child he knew. What are we thinking when good gifts are the only motive for following someone. Our government gives plenty of good things to its people but not always can they solve the issue of people's lives, because of their own corruption. God being a good Father, knows not only our desires of our heart, but if our desires are best for us so when he gives gifts, he gives them with knowledge of our individuality. Government and evil father's only provide what they see is common to most children. They will prove even the bread, and not a stone for food. God provides a banquet of what is needed. A loaf of bread with out meat is pretty bland tasting. Try it for a week and you see what I mean, we need meat of the word of God, but also the vegetables and fruit of the word of God in our life. We may first feed on the milk of the word but we do grow up. As we follow Christ we need meat, milk, vegetables, fruit and even sometimes dessert. God feeds us by his Spirit, and by His word.

Eye for eye and tooth for a tooth, or love others as you want to be loved is the question which do you choose. Do you choose war or love. If you continue to knock teeth out, all you get is someone not being able to eat. If you choose to love eventually it seeps in hopefully til love is returned. God loves us and sent Jesus to teach his word to the world. His goaled to teach love and not hate, to teach peace and not war. We see God leading his people in battle in the Old Testament forgetting why the people fought in battle. There is a right reason for war and evil reason for war. Evil reason being greed of land, people, and treasurers. Good reason for war to defeat evil and evil plots and plans.

If we ask we will receive and if we seek we will find and if we knock the door will be open to us? It about who we ask. Are we asking God, and seeking his will, and knocking on his door for the solution. God has a way for us to get the answers to the problems we have, the situations we have, the hopes and desires we have. It all comes down do we pray to God or are we asking others to solve the problem. The question comes are we seeking God because we desire to know him, or only for what we can gain? What rewards is there if you do not desire to know him but only for what he can give you. Who is the god that does not want to know you, but willing to give you your desires, despite the fact he does not even want to spend time with you. That god is the devil. He only wants to use you and toss you in the garabage heap. God in heaven wants to not only give you good gifts but take you home to be with him throughout eternity. He is preparing a mansion for each of us. Can we trust our Heavenly Father to give us good gifts because he loves us. His Son paid a price for our sins. He became like us though he was royalty. He became like us to show God's compassion for us. He became like us in paying the consequences for action. He became like us to say, I feel your pain in human flesh. I never stopped loving you, you stop loving me from the time man was kicked from the garden to today, man has continually stop loving God. Instead man choose his own ways, because he trust not his Creator. How lame is that, is it because of the consequences of original sin, or is it because we can not see God has a plan for man to return to him, by the price he was willing to pay, allowing his word(Jesus) to die for us, so we can have eternal life. "Wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord"(Romans 6:23). The broad road leads to death and destruction and narrow road to Christ Jesus. Narrow way is the way to God.

Where are you today? Are you in a place you desire only good gifts. Then seek God today and stop seeking those who wish to harm you. Seek the Lord's will, ask of God and keep knocking until God tells you why that door is shut. Ask, he will show you in due season. Where are we today? Do you seek the good Father's or an evil ones. Are we seeking the one that made us, designed us and knows the secrets of our heart? Think on it. I can tell you what you do, but God already knows if you ask, seek and knock at his door by seeking him.

Dear Heavenly Father, give us hope in this world. Reminding us daily of your love and your fight against evil in our heart and soul. Though we often judge without knowledge, we deal with abuse of our world without understanding that your arms are always opened wide to your children to ask of you so they can receive your answer, to seek to receive from you and knocking on the doors you provide for them, so it will open and all other doors will be closed. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
