View the post for February 17 for an explanation of my Lenten Project As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him. While we were camping last week at the lake, I got up early and headed down to the shore. The fog and clouds hid the sun and everything was quiet. The summer crowds are yet to come and there weren’t even any fishermen. It was a time to just sit and be in God’s world and pray and think.
As I sat on the hill overlooking the shore I thought about the stories of Jesus that took place on the Sea of Galilee. I imagine that he spent lots of time walking along the shore alone in the early morning hours. We know that he did this at least once on the day he called his first disciples. They were by the water, too, going about their daily business. Take time today as you go about your daily tasks and imagine a walk along a shore. Listen for Jesus to call to you, “Come, follow me.” Walk with him this day. Prayer Lord Jesus Walk with us today and open our hearts to hear your call. Give us the courage to share your love with all we meet this day. Amen
