SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY    Mark 1:14-20

¹⁴ After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Good News from God. ¹⁵ He said, “The right time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Change your hearts and lives and believe the Good News!”

¹⁶ When Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee, he saw Simon^[a] and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the lake because they were fishermen. ¹⁷ Jesus said to them, “Come follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” ¹⁸ So Simon and Andrew immediately left their nets and followed him.
¹⁹ Going a little farther, Jesus saw two more brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat, mending their nets. ²⁰ Jesus immediately called them, and they left their father in the boat with the hired workers and followed Jesus.

1. 1:16 Simon Simon’s other name was Peter.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

  Father, we don’t want to merely listen to Your Word and so deceive ourselves thinking that we have fulfilled the law of Christ. Instead we want to listen and apply Your truths, thereby obeying Your commands and honoring You in all we think, say and do. Take Your truth, plant it deep in us; shape and fashion us in Your likeness so that the light of Christ will be seen in us through our acts of love, our deeds of faith, and our words of truth. Fulfill in us Your purposes for Your own glory and honor we pray. Amen.

 

 

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING!
