Doing what the Father is doing
“Doing what the Father is doing.” This is becoming more and more the focus to my life these days and it’s beginning to bear fruit. By fruit I mean there is a smile on my face more often, there is less weight on my shoulders, my heart is softer to God’s presence, I am desiring God’s will more fully, my relationships are entering greater unity and peace…
Funny how something so simple can be so significant.
What would it be like to live in a way that we are literally doing what the Father is doing, saying what the Father is saying, going where the Father is going? Not just every once in a while but on a consistent basis. Does it sound good? It depends, right? What does it mean to do what the Father’s doing?
You can’t package or label what this looks like, it is vast, great and limitless. What is the Father doing?
Praying for for a stranger because you sense the wind of heaven on it, catching a movie with a friend, or shutting the t.v. off and going on a walk, or leaving an extra tip for the barista, or staying late at small group, calling a family member out of the blue, having a neighbor over for dinner, reading a book that jumps out at you. Are you getting the idea, it is vast, it is broad, there is no limiting what the Father is doing, but there are certainly those times when we choose to be aware and we actually step into what the Father is doing, seemingly “normal” things take on a whole other level of grace.
I want my year this year to be full, and I mean full of what the Father is doing. I have seen what days, weeks, and months look like when they are full of what “I am doing” disconnected from what He is doing.
Father, teach us to see, teach us to hear and teach us to have the courage to do what you are doing because that is where life is, that is where you are and given those two elements nothing else really matters.
Good day -
Well spoken, and well received. I am in this battle till the end! Good Day to you Sir or Madam
Sorry Joshua, Just realized it was you. Sir
Just happened to check the site for announcements and stumbled on to this. Thanks for sharing…it settled in the core of my heart and soul. Lately I’ve been so in tune with “What am I doing” and I’ve been sensing God, so graciously, bring this to my attention…not out of anger or dissapointment but out of love, mercy and a desire for me to know Him more and be aware of “What He is doing.” Everytime…I mean evertime I step out and do what the Father is doing, I get it…that’s where LIFE is.
