Get in the box!

Luke 2:49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be about my Father's business?”

Love this passage of scripture. Depending upon the version you read the verse says in my Father's House or about My Father's business. We made a decision yesterday about the Father's House. And we make decisions daily regarding being about the Father's business.

Even though baseball is behind us, God is calling us to get in the batter's box today. There is always a sense of excitement and anticipation when the pinch hitter comes to the plate. If you are a follower, God has all ready penciled you in the starting line up, you are not a pinch hitter. You might be in a slump but you are starting and God wants that bat off your shoulder today.

Many opportunities and situations will present themselves today and we will choose to be an offensive threat or looking for a walk (our own business). I pray God would give us all spiritual eyes to see the numerous divine at bats around us today. May we be about the Father's business today and not busyness. God is our third base Coach and He is giving you the sign to swing the bat today and not rely on the next believer in the line up to pick you up.

Lord help us to see divine appointments today and give us the wisdom & eagerness to respond to them.

Make it a great day!
