Decisions Along the Way

Week Four - Day One

This was the key passage from our "ON PURPOSE" winter retreat 2018:

Matthew 4:19-20 (ESV)  And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”  [20]  Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

Barry writes:

What’s the Point? 

Peter and Andrew lived with the reality that saying, “Yes, I will follow,” required leaving their nets. 

Think About It 

Throughout your journey of faith you will have to make difficult decisions. Your non-Christian friends see and respect these decisions. Choose wisely everyday. 

Prayer 

Lord, just for today, help me to make smart decisions. I understand that sometimes smart decisions aren‟t necessarily the easy ones. Help me to stay clear-headed and to listen for Your directions. 

Today’s Action 

Reread Matthew 4:19-20. Your prayer partners struggle with these decisions every day just like you do. An Awesome Way to Pray is undoubtedly requiring you to make some tough decisions. Talk with your prayer partners about your struggles to “Leave your nets and follow.” Together you can support each other.
