Today in the One Year Bible we read from Matthew 4:12-25. Jesus is preaching the gospel around the area where He lives, and He's calling people to follow Him.
He calls two sets of brothers, all four of whom are fisherman. Just common, every day workers, earning a living and probably catching their dinner, too. Notice there were tons of religious leaders at the time. He didn't call them. Or if He did, they didn't say yes.
He calls ordinary people like you and me to do amazing things. All four fishermen went on to heal people, cast out demons, become saints, and were martyred for their faith. (John was boiled in oil but miraculously survived)
What amazing things is God calling you to do today? Ask Him to show you.
God, thanks for calling us ordinary people to do amazing things. Help us follow You.
