It changed that day

Matthew 4:19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men.”

As I sit here in the peace of the beach in the early hours I prayed a prayer of thanksgiving for all this place brings to me. Of His creation of the tides, rising and falling only feet all over the world. This done for centuries with little variance and to a predictable timetable. I watched the shad running up and being gobbled up by larger fish right below me and thought of many years ago it may have been a morning like this for Peter, Andrew, James, and John when they were fishing. They left everything THEN and followed Christ. They stepped out in faith. Their lives were never the same as the became disciples and fishers of men.

Is Christ tugging at your heart asking for more from you? What is holding you back? The parable of the rich young ruler speaks clearly to many of us today that covet our money and “stuff”. “You cannot serve God and mammon(money).” (Matthew 6:24) If He is tugging at you it may be that He is asking simply what do you put before Him. If you truly want life to change pray to Him for that binder to be revealed and removed. There might be a day in your history that you look back and reflect on the day everything changed in your relationship with the Creator of it.
