Ask, and it shall be given you. . . (Matthew 7:7) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Millions of young children will anxiously climb into the loving lap of their Santa Claus. They’ll whisper in his ear their little hearts desire. They’ll quickly wake up Christmas morning with eyes shimmering at their gifts wonderful Santa gave them. Jolly old Saint Nick, Lean your ear this way! Dont you tell a single soul What Im going to say; Christmas Eve is coming soon; Now, you dear old man, Whisper what youll bring to me; Tell me if you can. Jolly Old St. Nick Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus! Right down Santa Claus Lane. . . Bells are ringing, children singing; All is merry and bright. Hang your stockings and say your prayers, Cause Santa Claus comes tonight. Millions of children worldwide will be praying and asking their god-Santa for their presents. And here’s the kicker – come Christmas morning – they’ll believe ol’ Satan (not again. . . they’re just too much alike. . . I mean. . . Santa) lovingly gave them all their presents. Who’s telling these kids these lies? Santa (or Satan. . . take your pick) has replaced God as the gracious giver of gifts and the one who answers their prayers. He is Mr. everything to these kids at Christmas time. They just need to believe. The key to getting your gifts is believing in Santa. Millions of kids will be asked this Christmas, Do you still believe in Santa? Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Matthew 7:7-8, 11 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. . . . 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? James 1:17 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.
