What is holding you back from stepping out? Knowledge, ability, fear, time, anxiety, laziness, unworthiness, past sin, present sin, pride, the list can go on but as you look at this verse Jesus didn't add an unless at the end of it. Jesus choose twelve ordinary people to follow Him and He made them fishers of men. I watched four young people last night be fishermen, they probably did not completely realize they were fishing for Christ yet they were. I watched another young lady offer up the final prayer for the night, not knowing what to say, opened her mouth and nailed it. She was willing and was fishing. These young people were anxious, nervous, but their unless, can't because, didn't stop them. The most important thing we can give God is our willingness, He just wants you to be willing and then overtime, just like the Apostles, He will make you a fisherman. Be willing, your fellow man needs you, those watching you needs you, God needs you!
Dear Abba Father, You are amazing, what You can do with someone who is willing. I praise You this morning for the teaching last night. Bless those reading this Father with a willing spirit, give them Hope, Joy, Mercy and Love in their hearts. Prayers for our church and all the fishermen, in the midst of the storm, may You shine brightest. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Good Success, pray for us.
