Grace for your spirit July 22, 2008

Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will also come with you." They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing. John 21:3

These apostles had left their nets to follow Jesus just three years before. They pictured a great victory and a great life for themselves. When Jesus went to the cross, they went back to their former lives. When Jesus met them by the sea, they weren’t doing well at all. They didn’t catch a thing until Jesus came. Jesus brought them back to be fishers of men. Too often in our Christian walk, when disappointments come, we desert our calling and go back to the world. I’m glad Jesus got to them before they got used to getting along without Him. I pray that same for all of us. Let’s be true to our calling. Whatever we do, may we never forsake our commitment to be fishers of men.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
