. . . they found Him in the temple . . . . And He said to them, ’. . . Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?’ —Luke 2:46, 49


The only abiding reality is God Himself, and His order comes to me moment by moment. Am I continually in touch with the reality of God, or do I pray only when things have gone wrong— when there is some disturbance in my life? I must learn to identify myself closely with my Lord in ways of holy fellowship and oneness that some of us have not yet even begun to learn. ". . . I must be about My Father’s business"— and I must learn to live every moment of my life in my Father’s house.
Think about your own circumstances. Are you so closely identified with the Lord’s life that you are simply a child of God, continually talking to Him and realizing that everything comes from His hands?
The life of your Lord is to become your vital, simple life, and the way He worked and lived among people while here on earth must be the way He works and lives in you.

I read this this morning and thought to myself…. WOW. You know the Lord is always right, and when he say’s “we must learn to identify ourselves closely with Him in ways of holy fellowship and oneness”, it just rings so true in my heart.

Lord Jesus, Thank you for your gentle spirit and for teaching and showing me the straight and narrow path. Even though, Lord, you and I both know I don’t stay on the path at all times and keep my eyes on You always, I thank you for being so patient with me. I know that words are small, and can’t even come close to giving you the gratitude and praise you deserve, but none the less, You do receive them and I thank you with all my heart.
In Your Name, Jesus, Amen
