Immediate obedience

Posted on March 16, 2023 by Shadow Living Blog

This morning while looking up passages in a prayer guide we are
using to pray for ourselves & our new church home Middlesex Baptist Church I read…

Matthew 4:18-20 –

“Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

And He *said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.”

What represents my “nets”?

Am I willing to immediately leave those nets and follow Jesus in order to reach our community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

I prayed for myself and my new church family….Dear Lord, help us to hear You say, “Follow Me.” When You call May we immediately leave our “nets” and follow You. Teach us as we follow You to be fishers of men.

About Shadow Living Blog

I am a writer in the making. My inspiration comes my relationship with Jesus and the healing He is doing in my heart. Other material comes from living life in my roles as wife, mom, daughter, friend and grandmother. Writing has always been my passion. It's like therapy to my soul. I believe everyone has a story to tell and can be part of The Greatest Story Ever Told, God's Story. My desire is to be obedient to God's call on my life by using this gift of writing for His glory. My hope is that through this blog I can encourage and inspire others to follow their God-given Dream and step out from a life lived in "the shadows"(whatever or whoever that is to you) and instead begin to live out the abundant life in the Shadow of The Almighty.
