Luke 5:8-11 NIV — When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines interruption as something that causes a stoppage or break in the continuity of something. Interruptions can be positive, but often we are frustrated when we are interrupted. In today’s scripture, Jesus interrupts some men who are fishing. He gives them advice on a fishing spot and then challenges them to follow him to be fishers of people. 

Can you imagine being there and making an in-the-moment decision to drop everything and follow Jesus? Isn’t that what we are called to do? Jesus wants to interrupt our ordinary days and make them extraordinary through a relationship with Him. Have you heeded His interruption? Are you willing to drop everything and follow Him?

Let’s pray. Dear Lord, open my eyes to Your interruptions today. May my heart be yielding and my spirit be willing to follow You. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
