“Or what person is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone?”
— Matthew 7:9 NASB1995
🥖 The Father’s Heart
Jesus appeals to something we all understand: good parents want to bless their children. Our heavenly Father is even more generous, wise, and kind than the best of earthly parents. He does not mock our hunger—He feeds it.
🏛 Ante-Nicene Confidence
The early Christians had no riches to boast in, yet they trusted the Lord to meet their needs. Their prayers were not for abundance, but for daily bread and enduring strength.
💭 Reflect:
- Do you see God as a generous Father?
- What “stones” have you feared that He would give you?
✨ Prayer:
Father, help me see Your heart rightly. Thank You that You do not mock my needs, but provide what nourishes my soul. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
