Hey Dad....

Some of you may be old enough to remember the Australian TV sitcom 'Hey Dad'.... (Check it out on youtube if you don't know what I'm talking about. It is pretty average 80's TV) The phrase came to mind whilst praying this week for Fathers Day services on Sunday. It is one thing to ask questions it quite another to listen to the answers given, especially by your Dad. (Natural, Spiritual, or Heavenly)
What answers have my 'Dads' given me that I have ignored, not heard clearly, or rebelled against? What questions have they answered that I haven't even asked? I am a dad what have I been like as an answerer of questions? What important questions have my kids asked me that I didn't answer well or at all? So many variables in life..... except one, God. The Bible tells us He doesn't change. Heb 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." We can count on a consistent, love filled response from God no matter what..... How come things don't work out and I get hurt, disappointed, and even betrayed when I put my trust in Him? I don't think His answers change, so if i am not satisfied with the answer, even to this question, maybe I am, asking the wrong question!!!!!!!

1 John 4:16 says "God is Love" He cannot respond to you or be involved in your circumstances with anything esle. He has no other agenda. So is it time to ask Him "Hey Dad...?" and listen for and expect only one answer..... wrapped in unconditional love. Try seeing your problems from that perspective..... You'll find yourself with a peace beyond understanding...
