I want a pony!

Sometimes it’s not a good idea to give your children everything they ask for … (take 30 seconds and watch the video below) …

Parents don’t always exercise wisdom in how they respond to the requests of their children, but our heavenly Father does.

“You parents — if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him,” Matthew 7:9-11.

Often what we ask of God is the equivalent of a pony that will wreck the house. God knows what’s best for us, and from that perfect knowledge He responds to the petitions of His children.
