Matthew 7:9
If his son shall ask bread, will he give him a stone? The
assurance of an answer to prayer is based on the fact that God
is our Father. He treats his children as a good and wise earthly
parent would. No kind parent would mock his child by answering
his cry for bread with stones. Bread and fish were the chief
articles of food of the Galilean peasant.
