We don’t ask God to extend His hand because we don’t know His heart. Psalm 84:11 captures the heart of the heavenly Father: No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. God is not holding out or holding back. It’s not in His nature to withhold any good thing from us. He most certainly won’t bless disobedience, but He most certainly will bless obedience. If you take God at His word, you’ll make the joyful discovery that God wants to bless you far more than you want to be blessed. And His capacity to give is far greater than your capacity to receive.
