Matthew 6:7-8 “When you pray, do not keep babbling like pagans…..for your father knows what you have need of before you ask”
Fathers Knows Best was an American sitcom about the lives of the Andersons, a middle-class family living in a town called Springfield. The show started on radio in 1949 then moved to television until 1960. The mom, Margaret was portrayed as a voice of reason, while the father, Jim was the one who offered sage advice in response to his children's problems. Here's something that’s even better…Matthew 6:8 says that our Father knows what we have need of even before we ask.
But how do you see your Father God? Do you see Him as an angry man who’s always ticked off, always has a frown on His face, always pointing out something wrong with you? Or do you see your Father God as a good, good Father, a loving Dad, a Father who reaches into His “pocket” every time you need something? If you see Him as a giving, loving, generous Father, then you will be able to trust Him and believe that He always knows what’s best for you. You will be able to believe that He always has your best interest in mind. He knows what you have need of before you even ask, AND gave you everything you need through His Son Jesus. He’s a good, good Father.
