Jesus
called His disciples by saying, “Come follow me and I will make you fishers
of men”. They left their nets and boats and turned their lives over to Him.
In essence he does the same with us we are called to “Follow Him”. As we turn
our lives over to His will and ways we will be taught how to share the Gospel
(be Fishers of men).
Most of
my family wears a "fitbit" - it counts our steps each day. We
can see how each other have done during the day, week, or lifetime. Yes, it has
become something of a competition to see who gets
in the most steps! What if we all wore a "Jesus-bit"
with the ability for us to see how we are doing in our walk with Christ?
Interesting concept, but be assured someone is counting...
Jeremiah 10:23 -I
know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to
direct his steps.
Proverbs 16:9- In
his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.
In order to
follow someone, you turn away from your past life of sin, turn your life
over (towards) to Christ, and take the steps necessary to follow Him
Galatians
5:24-25 –Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature
with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in
step with the Spirit.

Peter 2:21 - To this you were called, because Christ suffered
for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
Keep in step with Christ. Amen?
