How can we believe this w/o turning God into some sort of celestial vending machine?
What is the real meaning here?
Matthew 7
7 "Keep on asking, and you
will receive what you ask for.
Keep on seeking, and you will find.
Keep
on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks, receives.
Everyone who seeks, finds.
And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 "You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?
10 Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake?
Of course not!
11 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?
