I Believe In God
[b]Following God[/b]
Simon and his brother Andrew (were) casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me" Jesus said, " and I make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him.
At some time in your life you must have sensed God saying to you, it's time to start going in a new direction. I want you to change vocations (go backto school, start a ministry, strike up a friendship, get a job, go to the mission field), because you matter to me. I have great plans for you, and I'm going to work i your life. If you'll just take those blunders off, I'll use you." Just for a moment you felt a flutter in your heart, and you thought, "Maybe that was God's voice." But then instead of looking of stars, you focus on bars.
I cannot ask you to do something that I am not willing to do.I want to be more willing to say , "God, here I am, Use me.Lead me.If you have something significant planned for my life, count me in. I'll follow you the best I know how - tremblinng, but trusting. I want to see stars, not bars. I want to grow in vision."
