When Fall comes around I generally get in the fishing mood. Just being out near a pond of water trying to catch something with nothing to do but talk to the Lord. Only, I did not have a license and for values sake I waited until the first of January to get a license. Wow, it is too cold...lol.
Mat 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Mat 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Mat 4:20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
Jesus invited his disciples to be fishers of men. You catch them and the Lord will clean them, is a humorous saying. Last night in church several people shared of their gifts. John spoke as a great orator, a poem that he wrote to share with us. He has a wonderful gift of poetry and his voice is with authority. Another friend has a mechanical gift and has restored several cars. He shares this gift to help people in church. One lady teacher spoke of having a tiny piece of gravel in her slipper. It was small, but it is often the small things, small hindrances unattended that can become giants in our life. Using a spiritual gift just might keep someone from falling away.
This Wednesday we are beginning a Bible study at the Frontier Senior Center. A friend at church has another friend who wanted to be in a Bible study. Hopefully there will be more as I enjoy leading them. Maybe we will catch a fish? Let's go fishing!
