11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him. Luke 5: 11
“Make your bed before you leave.” If Sherry has said this once she has said it a thousand times over the years as our kids were growing up. That statement has always been a constant reminder of the differences people have in their value system.
Honestly speaking, in the grand scheme of life, how important is it that your children make their beds? I can hear all the responses and many are valid. But consider this, If you child had to choose between reading their Bible or making their bed, which would you direct them to do?
This morning I was touched by Luke’s commentary of what happened when Peter, Andrew, James, and John heard the Lord’s words. They left everything and followed Him.
What could be more important than making a living? What could be more important than making a bed each morning? Answer, “Following the Lord.”
Jesus said: “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”
It is God’s desire that every believer would understand his or her purpose is fulfilled in making Jesus famous in the world. When this is in place, it changes everything about our lives. Everything now has a focused purpose.
I work for the glory of God to be on display. I spend time in the community of the glory of God to be on display. I even make my bed for the glory of God!!!
Oh how I pray that each who read this come to see the greater purpose of life!!!!
