Christian Devotional – September 13, 2012

VERSE:
Mark 1:17-18–And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

TRUTH:
In our lives, there is a call of Jesus to follow Him. He promises to make us into something that we were not before and couldn’t have become on our own. Simon and Andrew heard His call and followed immediately, without hesitation When we hear the promptings of the Spirit, do we obey immediately? Anything less than immediate obedience is disobedience.

RESPONSE:
Lord, You have a plan and have called me with a purpose. Occasionally I hesitate, thinking that I need to ask questions or get clarification first. Instead, I want to be obedient to You immediately. You know what You have for me and I want that, no matter what I have to leave behind.
