Don't
Be Afraid!
From
Now On
You'll
Be Fishing For People.
Scripture
Luke
5
4 When he
had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Now go out where it
is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.”
5 “Master,”
Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a
thing. But if you say so, I’ll let the nets down again.”
6 And this
time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear! 7 A
shout for help brought their partners in the other boat, and soon
both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking.
8 When Simon
Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus
and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me—I’m such a sinful man.”
9 For he was
awestruck by the number of fish they had caught, as were the others
with him. 10 His partners, James and John, the sons of
Zebedee, were also amazed.
Jesus replied to
Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for
people!” 11 And as soon as they landed, they left
everything and followed Jesus.
Observation
This
may be the last blog you see from me for an entire week.
I
leave in the morning for North Carolina with a Disaster Relief Team
from our church. Please pray for us this week.
We
will be staying and working out of a Baptist Church in Whiteville,
NC. Just getting to Whiteville may be a challenge for us with all the
road closures.
As
we help flood victims during the week verse 10 of Luke 5 will be on
my mind.
Jesus
has called us to minister to both the physical and the spiritual
needs of those we will help. He wants us to fish for people!
If
we have wifi and I am able to get on line then I will give updates on
the blogs that I am able to write.
If
you don't hear from me or see me on Facebook then you will know that
an internet connection was not available!
Application
I
will share my faith every chance I get as we go out to help those
devastated by Hurricane Florence.
Please
keep us in your prayers!
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, give our team opportunities to share our faith this week. We
pray for hearts that will be open to the Gospel. Help us make a
difference in the lives of those we help. I pray for each member of
the team. I pray that each of us goes with a heart that is right with
You.

Bible Reading: Daniel 9,10; Psalms 123; Luke 5
