Going fishing!

Our careers often demand much of our time and attention. But, Jesus has an interesting way of interrupting our business as usual/agenda. In fact, He invites us to join His business. Notice the sequence of His statement to the fishermen: “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men”(Matthew 4:19). We are tempted to think that we should make something of our lives and at the same time follow JESUS. Wrong! He calls us first to follow Him, and then He makes something of our lives. He leads us to prioritize, so that we see the needs of people and their eternity as the goal of all our endeavors. And while God may not require us to give up our careers, following Him will guarantee that we will never see our careers in the same way again. If we follow Christ, "we must fish!" What are we waiting for? Let us drop our nets, follow Him and let Him make something of our lives. Today is the day, Do not delay further. — Matthew 4:22
