Make Room for Daddy

Make Room for Daddy

Luke 6:12-16  If you are too young (and who isn’t) to have heard of "Make Room For Daddy" aka "The Danny Thomas Show," check it out on Nick at Nite or just use your imagination. I remember it because it began its popular run the year I was born (lets just say 1960ish okay?).

Whether you think of "Make Room for Daddy," "Andy Griffith," "The Lone Ranger," or "My Three Sons," there was an era people actually talked to their dads. Something important to figure out, would be predicated by an interview with dad. I can almost hear "Beaver" starting up the ladder of wisdom with his brother and being told to ask Dad. "Hey, Wally, why is Joey so dumb? Gee, I don't know Beav, You better ask Dad."

In today’s passages we find Jesus taking his business to Dad, making room to listen to his Father’s heart. One day soon afterward Jesus went to a mountain to pray, and he prayed to God all night.(v12 NLT)

 If perfect Jesus is on the mountain all night, what should my prayer life look like? I am a doer. I resist prayer. Without intentionality I won’t make the room for Daddy. Why am I like that? Answer the question for me and then see how well it describes your life.

 Do you take stuff to your Daddy in heaven before you act or just suggest he bless what you already did?

What kind of listening do you think Jesus did? Imagine the scene, who talked the most in this all night prayer?

 How did time with Dad effect Jesus confidence? At daybreak he called together all of his disciples and chose twelve of them to be apostles.(v13 NLT)

How could your it shape your life if before you chose your next partner, before your next occupational adventure, if you were to "Make Room For Daddy?"
