After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: "This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."
As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." Then they abandoned their nets and followed him. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.
Come after me and I will make you fishers of men
Lord,
I am not sure what you are doing with me these days. I have all these gifts you've given me, this knowledge and a keen way of hearing you, but what do I do with all of it? Now you've got me praying with people, which I never wanted to do. But, Lord, you do lead me, so I believe it is where you want me. But what about the creativity and the knowledge of the faith. I thought you wanted me to use it, but nothing is happening.
What does come after me and I will make you fishers of men mean to me? I have worked on learning all the 'rules' to do this, but it doesn't seem to have any value or purpose.
It will. All that is not for nothing.
Lord, please lead me because I don't see it now. Today I feel tired and out of steam.
Rest. Today is a day to rest, just rest.
