“‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’” Mark 1‬:‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Today’s invitation from God is to follow Him. As you can see in Ray’s key photo, fishing is a vital food supply to our area. We live along the beautiful coastline of the Low Country. There are many places to fish, shop, and dine for fresh, local fish. Take a moment to assess your faith in action. Are you following Jesus? Are you fishing for men by sharing your faith? What opportunities are you taking?

Sharing our faith with others should be as easy and enjoyable as catching fish. The truth is, sometimes we get paralyzed and can’t find the right words to say. Living out our faith in our actions and reactions can be just as powerful. The photo below is of our son Trevor fishing. He is holding a Red Drum out on Winyah Bay. This is both a passion and a stress reliever for him. The next time you share Your faith, go in confidence and be reminded of the simplicity of fishing. Let’s pray through Deauterotomy 31:8 to courageously guide us in sharing our faith.

Dear God, You are with me always. Thank You for never leaving me or forsaking me. Help me not to be afraid to share my faith. Help me not to get discouraged when sharing and living out my faith looks different than I had planned. In Jesus’s Name I pray, Amen.
