Scripture

Matthew 4

18 One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. 19 Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” 20 And they left their nets at once and followed him.

Observation

I love fishing. I love fishing for fish and I love fishing for people. In fact, I really want to catch some people this holiday season. People are more open to talk about spiritual things during this time of year than at any other.
Actually we don’t catch people we just fish for them and God does the catching and the cleaning. But we are commanded and encouraged to fish!

Application

I will look for opportunities to fish for people first thing in the morning!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I want to be a fisher of men. Bring men and women into my life that need to hear the Good News and open their hearts so they can be saved.
