A friend recently posted a story about a record-breaking fish caught in Lake Erie. If we want to catch a fish, we need to be sure we are prepared. This preparation varies depending on where we are fishing and what we are trying ot catch. Even if we aren't fishing for fish, we need to be prepared to "fish" for people!
Jesus calls all of us to follow Him. As His followers, we will experience His glory and blessings. We should also prepare to share Jesus with others. However, the people in ur lives will not all respond in the same way or to the same forms of sharing. We need to be prepared with different "equipment" or methods for sharing the Good News. It can also help to recognize different types of people so we can share in a way that better speaks to each of them. As we head out to "fish for people", we need to be prepared, but we also need to take Jesus to help with the big catch of followers for Him!
Take Jesus with you and prepare to "fish for people."
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for calling me and going with me always. Help me to be a good fisherman for You. In Jesus I pray, amen.
