Am I about my Fathers business?
I long to hear from God the same words that Jesus heard. "This is my son in whom I am well pleased." Romans tells us that we are adopted sons and heirs of God, therefore it is perfectly possible hear these words. We will have our Spirit cry Abba Father. The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God. (Romans 8:16)
"This is my son in whom I am well pleased" are words that were used by Jewish Father's announcing their sons had come of age and were equals in the family business. If I am to be involved in the family business, it is a 24/7 process. I must align with the activity of God and fulfill his purposes on earth. This is not a Sunday or evening process, but one that requires my attention and awareness on a constant basis. I believe that with time I can get better at this.
This is part of being a disciple of Jesus Christ because as a disciple I must follow and emmulate the way of Lord. Jesus said " I tell you the truth The Son can do nothing by himself ; he can only do what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
I must observe and know my Fathers activity and work for him and with him.
