18Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee,
He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter,
& Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea;
for they were fishermen.19& He said to them,
"Follow Me, & I will make you fishers of men."
20Immediately they left their nets & followed Him.
Matthew 4:18-25 (NASB)
....
As I read this passage in the bible,
I was amazed by the faith of this fishermen.
If we undstd this fact deeper,
I will realized that, their living source is based
on fishing alone. Without their net,
they have nothing to eat and live upon.
But they recognized one fact tat is,
God will provide all their needs,
and only God can make them,
A true fishermen, "fishers of men".
As I ponder deeper upon wad God is exectly
speaking to me abt, i came to undstd;
God post me tis challange if i am willing to
let go of wad i tink makes me / my identity,
& to belief that he know me better than i kw
myself. If i am willing to release of
the vocation that i am doing,
( Illustration - fisherman, Reality - Graphic designer)
And to serve him in whatever area that he
leads me to, (eg. Art teacher)
Do i actually love God and trust God to
allow God to take charge of my life.
(for he bought me over at a price)
Do i actually belief that God is truly GOD?
Recently,
God convicted me of Sin.
Sin of Acting God in my life.
Would i be willing to let go of whatever
successes that i have in my life now,
as a designer and say this:
" God, whatever talents, spiritual gifts,
my life, my heart, take them all and use
them for your glory, for you made me,
and love me. Forgive me for being stubborn
in my ways, for your ways are nt my ways,
your knowledge are higher than mine.
I release myself back to you and use me."
I belief after my period of stuggling with tis.
It will come to pass and serve a great purpose,
definately not for myself but for the
glory of God.
Amen.
