For you - In you - Through you

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will send you out to fish for people." 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
Matthew 4:18-20



Right in the middle of an ordinary day, two ordinary men who are doing an ordinary job encounter the God of this world, in the flesh, as the Master Designer plays out the first scene in this most important chapter of this epic script where Jesus begins to build his team of disciples that will eventually change the world as we know it. Our God was working “for them” and “for you” and “for me” as He inhabited this world through His only Son in order to redeem all of us and reconnect us with our Creator. Later on in the story you will see how God works in the lives of these men as He slowly but surely changes their hearts and lives to be a reflection of His love. And finally, in the grand finale of the Gospel as we know it, Jesus begins to work through these two fisherman and many others in order that the whole world would see and know His awesome love for mankind. Similarly, today, right in the middle of an ordinary day, doing an ordinary job, our God is working for you today and you can see the evidence of his love all around you. The chirp of a bird in the early morning or the calming sound of a pianist who is creating beautiful music in the midst of a busy airport on a Monday morning, through the littlest things you can see and experience God if you are indeed paying attention and seeking him with all of your heart. In addition, God is working in you to change your heart and mind to be even more like His in order that He can then work through you to touch the lives of lost people who so desperately need to see and experience His love. Draw near to God today with all of your heart as He is near and He loves you and He will hold you in His loving arms, forever!
