Matthew 4:18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will send you out to fish for people." 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
In Luke 5, the story has a deal of side pictures. A great miracle, the bowing down of Peter as the miracle hits his heart. The end of both stories is the same: fishers of men, but the drama is different. The point I get hit with is the “at once” for all of the callings. Much of my life was not directed to what the Lord has called me to do. An embarrassment to the English department of my High School. A math wiz with no purpose in math and less in science. All the time, the Word of God was sitting in my lap, not as a life calling, but as a color on the black and white of life travels. We do not know how well Peter and Andrew took the lessons of the synagogue on their fishing trips, but we know that they were called. Behind every short version, there is a version that The Lord has already prepared that is much more interesting and sometimes painful. Have you heard His call in your fishing trips?
