Luke 2:49<\/strong> \u2013 And He said to them, \u201cWhy did you seek Me?\u00a0 Did you not know that I must be about my Father\u2019s business?\u201d<\/p>\n 1 Corinthians 9:16 <\/strong>– For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!<\/p>\n Mark 16:15<\/strong> – He said to them, \u201cGo into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.<\/p>\n I am not an educated man.\u00a0 I am not a scholar.\u00a0 I am a simple guy who is simply intending to do the best I can with what God gives me.\u00a0 I share what God has given me because I must.\u00a0 I am driven to serve God as He leads me.\u00a0 As what was in the heart of Jesus, so it is in my heart to be about my Father\u2019s business. Growing up, I had always wished that my father had owned a business so that I could have learned his business, known his business, and to have worked side-by-side with him in his business.\u00a0 I think my dad would have liked that, but it was not to be. \u00a0However, my Heavenly Father has a business that He wants all His children to be a part of.\u00a0 I am His apprentice and ever shall be. \u00a0He gives me work to do and I try to do it as best I can.\u00a0 Oh, I have a lot to learn.\u00a0 I try to always be diligent in trying to do His business as perfectly as possible.\u00a0\u00a0 Of course, I never perform perfectly, but the Lord knows my heart.\u00a0 He is so gracious with me!<\/p>\n I must be about my Father\u2019s business.\u00a0 My efforts are feeble, but my heart is right.\u00a0 And what is not right about me, my Father is correcting.\u00a0 I desire His correction.\u00a0 Family, it is good to work side-by-side with our Father.\u00a0 It is the best of all things!\u00a0 Working with Dad, it is oh so good!\u00a0 I love our Dad!<\/p>\n I can see the sign hung above the door of His shop \u201cGod & Sons & Daughters.\u201d\u00a0 Praise God!<\/p>\n Psalm 150:6 <\/strong>– Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n Micah 7:<\/strong>7 – But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear\u00a0me.<\/p>\n Micah 6:8<\/strong> – He has shown you, O man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; And what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Luke 2:49 \u2013 And He said to them, \u201cWhy did you seek Me?\u00a0 Did you not know that I must be about my Father\u2019s business?\u201d 1 Corinthians 9:16 – For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach.
