Read Matthew 4:18-20.
Jesus invites some fishermen into a whole new focus on fishing. Whereas rabbi’s focused mostly on lessons of the Law, Jesus would focus on connecting with people in order to share God’s good news with them. Notice that Jesus gives the invitation to follow him, and Peter and Andrew drop everything to follow Jesus. The two men responded in faith rather than getting caught in the fear of the unknown. At times, we want all the “details” before we say yes. Yet, God rarely provides those ahead of time. Jesus gave his disciples the most rewarding job. He taught them to reach out to people with the Good News of God. God also offers us the same opportunity - how will we respond?
Personal Worship Option:
Prayer for today: “My LORD and Savior; thank you for inviting me into the journey with you! It is my joy to follow you and to listen for your voice. You are the great and mighty King and I choose you. In your precious name, Jesus, amen.”
