God is a rich giver.

God doesn’t agree to work like a vending machine.

He is a rich giver.

He continues to give generously. You don’t have to deserve his gifts

and you cannot pay it back later.

This is a hard lesson for us to learn as in our own system every

reward is based on our performance.
Every favor has a price.

Cain understood in Gen. 4:6 that God doesn’t receive a face.

He cannot be influenced by human manipulation. Yet, he hears

our prayers and encourages us to speak to him.

Zacharias and Elisabeth were said to be “righteous before God,

walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord

blameless, but they had no child…” Luke 1:6

They were given a child, John the Baptist, and he was given

disregard of her barrenness or their blamelessness.

Ask and it shall be given to you or ... not.

The more you know him, the better you know what to ask.
