We are on day 5; (Fathers June 5). We are still talking about fathers and their roles and how God has a set of blueprints and patterns; that He has laid out for us to follow.
God’s blueprints and patterns
His Word, the Bible, is the “BLUEPRINTS” for our lives. An acronym I use for BIBLE is: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
Mat 6:9 Pray, therefore, like this: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed (kept holy) be Your name Mat 6:10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
God expects us to pattern the things of this world after the patterns and operations of Heaven’s ways. This just means,that the way He operates, runs and rules Heaven; should be the way that we operate, run and rule things on this earth. We are to pattern our lives from His patterns. Contractors, engineers, electricians plumbers and builders understand this concept very well. This is what they call; “following BLUEPRINTS”. They understand why it is vital to follow the blueprints; including the mistakes that ensue; when not followed. Mistakes require fixing immediately; because everything else that follows; are building upon those mistakes. Therefore, those mistakes affect the very reason for the blueprints. More importantly; if they are not rectified immediately; it can lead to major DISASTERS.
2Ti 3:16 (amp) Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action),
2Ti 3:17 So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Seeking answers
Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Mat 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
The Bible is full of answers to all of life’s problems. Sometimes though, when searching for the answer or answers it may not seem like we are finding our answer right away, but God always answers; those who are earnestly seeking His truths and His answers and if we won’t give up. This is important information to remember and know; because fathers are always trying to figure out what is the next step (s) that they are needing to take.
