Verses 11-13 “11If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”
One of the best gifts that God gives to us is the gift of the Holy Spirit. Every saved person has been given the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit dwells within us. He is in us to comfort us, teach us, empower us, and gift us to serve. He produces in us joy, peace, and all of the Christian graces. He teaches us how to love. What a gift! Good gifts all come from God, no matter who the intermediary might be. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17).
