DAILY READINGS: Numbers 11:4-35; Proverbs 9:1-18; 1 Peter 1:25
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. Matthew 4:19-20
Our Lord had been baptised and come through His time of testing victorious. Now He was about to begin His public ministry. He felt the need to have a band of men with Him to whom He could teach divine principles. He chose simple fishermen who could identify with the ordinary people around and who would obey His word and follow Him. We too, need to be willing and obedient. —G. Frear
Our Lord was ready and willing to preach,
To heal the multitudes and to teach,
The men He chose were simple and true,
How willing to learn and follow are you? —G. F.
