DAY 12 – SEPT 27
And he (Jesus) said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Matthew 4:19
When Jesus called the first disciples, they had no idea what he had in store. They did have the faith to drop what they were doing and follow him. They somehow knew he was worth it (and still is to us today as he calls us to follow). We are given the same choice the first followers were given. What will we choose? We can choose the world’s way or Jesus’ Way. He is still calling today.
We Pray: Gracious God, we are thankful that You continue to call us in Jesus’ name to be part of Your family. Your way brings freedom and an “abundant life” (John 10:10) that we can’t always see with the distractions of our modern lives. Help us to see beyond the trappings and temporary pleasures of the world to see what true life really looks like in You. We pray for wisdom and courage to choose your way in the power of your Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen
