Missing Impossible
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?
Matthew 7:9-11
That's to say there's something missing again and it's not just as unto men. Jesus here in Matthew though is very much providing some guidelines that we should follow when we judge as unto him.
There's a son asking bread.
Jesus wonders if you're going to give him a stone. Is he going to steal it for then or perhaps just to save it for himself when times get harder than anything known thus far that is seen. He could also you know, ask for it nicely of course. Would you condemn him for even asking or trying thus far for himself? Certainly it's something that no parent can see happening, their child going hungry and doing nothing between. In all actuality, if a son did this, we'd give him the world wouldn't we or at least try to move mountains were there any standing there in between. It's hard isn't seeing the condition and not doing anything about it not even of men. Then consider that the son has gotten hungry again.
There's a son asking a fish.
Surely you're not just going to hand over a serpant that he should just eat that instead. Consider how if you will serpants get hungry too and they're liable to bite any even just in a few. They can also multiply can't they and spread around through the crowd. Consider too that some are poisonous just if you will. Perhaps not the serpant that's being served up for lunch as a matter of course but maybe another one will come along in the being. That one might not be as tame as it seems. It's also really hard to consider any good father doing this perhaps even the Lord. Then just consider this if you will that
There are some that are evil of men.
That means in particular they do wrong things when they know that they shouldn't and then. They've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and that is to say God's perfect way. There's none that is righteous no not one and should all the good things be measured that have passed heretofore they would all be as filthy rags just in cleaning up as unto the Lord. That's not righteous in his sight or washed in the blood is it whether of Lamb or of Lion that's considered herein. It seems the Lion of the tribe of Judah has many now that it seems. You know an awful large pride whether that of his people or just of all men. Then if you're missing the all good things that he gives to his children perhaps there's one of two possible things that are happening.
1. You're not asking his providing for then
2. You're not asking anything good in the midst
3. You're not asking our Father in Heaven
Once all of these things have been met that it seems, our God will do as he sees fit which is to say his providing for thus or merely that of the just. Perhaps you're not sure what these things would mean to all that so would but trust then in him. If you will let's go on down a rabbit hole so to speak, that is to say wherever you've wandered and that for his sake But let's just hope it doesn't come on down to Lincoln, blincon, and nod. You know, whatever you are fast asleep either that or just there's no time there to keep. I want to tell you a story though or perhaps you can go with me now and so too can help you to see.
Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.
23 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
24 O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?
25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
Alright, that's the tone of Moses at one point in time just before the rest of the law was given and before these had passed on over the river Jordan. Basically all that's to say that these were herein most seen. Can you tell me what that man would've sounded like to you at this juncture?
Then consider if you will his tone at the end.
2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
4 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 29:2-6
Alrighty then, that's the end of the saying. What do you think of it now where you've been? Perhaps Moses has benefitted from a hearing God's Word or has his tone in any way changed? Remember before how that we'd seen the body, soul, and spirit aligned from the first and how these had all sounded to you as a person. Is there anywhere in particular that you think we're all going?
