Luke 5:10 NIV
10 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.”
INVEST: Jesus reassures us that He will equip us for the work He calls us to do. Just as Simon Peter was called to catch men, we are called to share the Gospel and bring others to Christ. This can be intimidating, but Jesus tells us not to be afraid. He promises to be with us and to use us in ways we might not expect. Trust Him today to guide you as you invest in others.
