| What Kind Of Character Do You Believe God Has? Mat 7:9-10 (NIV)  Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
 This verse sets out a couple of God’s requirements.
 |  | If we ask for something that is good for us, then He will give it to us.  Asking for bread or fish to eat is a good thing in this illustration.  Even us humans with all our flaws will do that much.  But, if we ask for a stone or a snake to eat, then God reserves the right to say no.  These are some of the rights He reserves as He maintains His relationship with us.   |
