What fills your net?

Mark 1:16-18 tells the story of Christ walking the shores of Galilee. Along that walk he met two brothers, Simon and Andrew, casting nets into the sea. These men were fishermen, not only of the sea, but in matters of the Spirit.

"And Jesus said unto them. Come ye after me, and I will make you you to become fishers of men. And staightway they forsook their nets, and followed him."

Are we willing to be like Simon and Andrew? Are we willing to leave behind our nets in order to have a straightforward and personal experience with the Savior?

Here is what fills my net

Internet--Facebook/Blogging

Feelings of Inadequacy

Pride

Perfection

Anger

Judgments

Sleeping

Lack of Sleep

Arguing

Not taking the time to enjoy "The Simple Things"

The list can go on and it changes frequently, so daily inventory is needed.

As Simon and Andrew "forsook their nets," they were given and invitation to "follow Him."

What fills your net?

Make a list.

What are you willing to forsake in order to follow the Savior?
