PRAYER IN THE FATHER'S HOUSE
Wist ye not that I must be in My Father's house?"
Luke 2:49
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=lu+2:49&sr=1
Our Lord's childhood was not immature man-hood; our Lord's childhood
is an eternal fact. Am I a holy innocent child of God by
identification with my Lord and Saviour? Do I look upon life as being
in my Father's house? Is the Son of God living in His Father's house
in me?
The abiding Reality is God, and His order comes through the moments.
Am I always in contact with Reality, or do I only pray when things
have gone wrong, when there is a disturbance in the moments of my
life? I have to learn to identify myself with my Lord in holy
communion in ways some of us have not begun to learn as yet. "I must
be about My Father's business" - live the moments in My Father's
house.
Narrow it down to your individual circumstances - are you so
identified with the Lord's life that you are simply a child of God,
continually talking to Him and realizing that all things come from
His hands? Is the Eternal Child in you living in the Father's house?
Are the graces of His ministering life working out through you in
your home, in your business, in your domestic circle? Have you been
wondering why you are going through the things you are? It is not
that you have to go through them, it is because of the relation into
which the Son of God has come in His Father's providence in your
particular sainthood. Let Him have His way, keep in perfect union
with Him.
The vicarious life of your Lord is to become your vital simple life;
the way He worked and lived among men must be the way He lives in
you.
