Jesus
called to them, “Come, follow me. I’ll make you become fishers of people,” and
immediately they left their nets and followed Him. (Mark 1:17-18)
How
do you react when you hear God’s voice? Do you try to dismiss it? Do you ask
for counsel from other people? Do you hesitate or try to run away?
Simon
and Andrew modeled the only appropriate response to God’s call – immediately
they followed Him. Surely, they had questions, doubts, and even fears – if not
at first, certainly as they continued to follow Jesus. But, they addressed
their questions to Him. They pressed in around Him at times when they didn’t
understand or felt afraid. This simple call from Jesus has not changed. As He
shows you the people He created you to serve and to love, the invitation is
still, “Come, follow me. I will give you the work to do.”
