Adventurously Expectant: What’s Next Daddy?

I can predict what my daughter will say when she gets home from school…

“What are we doing today, Daddy?”

In fact, she repeats variations of this question multiple times throughout the day.

“What are we doing tonight?”

“Are we doing anything?”

“Are we going anywhere?”

“What’s for dinner?”

She’s looking for the plan. She wants to know what’s on the agenda…

Because her life is tied to ours—where we go, she goes; our plans are her plans.

This reminds me of a verse in the Bible:

This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” (Romans 8.15 MSG)

Our life is tied to His—where He goes, we go; His plans are our plans.

Are you asking Him, “What are we doing today, Daddy?”

“What’s next, Papa?”

Go ahead, ask.

Repeatedly.

Be adventurously expectant.
