The Real Victory!

People all around me are speaking fear, dread and worry. Why do we think the worst? Why do we expect bad things to come our way? If you have your hand in the hand of God, what are you afraid of? Is there any terror too big for Him to handle? Is there any power that can overcome Him? Try looking "up" into his eyes as you tighten your grip. You won't "see" the fearful, wicked or profane around you........your on the right path!

S.       16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.19 And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

O.      Jesus calls his first disciples, four fishermen, Simon, Andrew, James and John to train them.

A.      We must heed the call of God each day, “take up our cross” and obey. The lost will not come to us and ask for guidance into the kingdom of God. We must declare the gospel message and increase the kingdom of God, one person at a time.

P.       Father; thank you for reminding me of your call. Lead me, sweet Spirit, to the people that I  might help today. Strengthen my heart and give me courage to speak. Amen.
