Luke 2:49

Luke 2:49 "Don't you know I had to be in my Father's House?"

Is the Son of God living in His Father's house in me?

Oh, how I want to be identified with the Lord's life in me, continually talking to Him and realizing that all things come from His hands! At times we wonder why we go through the things we do. Maybe it is not that we have to go through them, but rather, those trials and circumstances are God's way of entering into and dwelling in our lives in a very pointed, purposeful, and intimate way - an invasion of sorts. If we could just let Him have His way, and keep in perfect union with Him!

"I had to be in my Father's house." When Jesus said this, I believe He was also saying, "I must be about My Father's business." God is in the business of people. He entered people's lives, He lived among them. The way He worked and lived among men must be the way He lives in us.
