Today’s Scripture: And immediately they left their nets and followed him. Mark 1:18 ESV
Who else will we follow today? Jesus had just said to Simon and Andrew “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” Immediately, they did it. Are you ever like me and just wish Jesus would be this clear to us?
Do you think Simon and Andrew had the same thoughts as us? But Jesus if I follow you, how am I going to pay the bills? Who is going to take care of the boat payments?
If we will not see Him in the flesh how will we know where to follow? In Luke 22:46, as Jesus returned from praying so hard blood oozed from His pores He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” Will we wake up and pray?
Are you wondering where to turn today? What direction will you go? May we rise up and pray and follow Him. Jesus prayed, I think I will follow Him.
Today’s Prayer: Jesus thank You for showing us and telling us how to pray. I will rise up and follow your example. I leave all else behind and follow you. Please be clear with me Father and allow me to see you so that I may follow. My heart longs for you. Thanks for being my strength and my hope. I leave all Lord; please guide me as I pray earnestly to you. Amen
