I am an imperfect person, and yet I know not to give my son a serpent. I am over 14 years in, and I have never given my children a scorpion. They did not cover this in parenting class -- I figured it out on my own. I have bought my children ice cream and Legos and other things that they enjoy far more than snakes.
If human parents can figure this out, how much greater are the gifts that will come from God? And God gives the best gift of all -- the Holy Spirit, the very presence of God, is the gift offered to us by God. May we have the wisdom to ask and the courage to trust in God.
