The Bible is full of really important stories. But sometimes, when we read these stories of people who lived such a long time ago, we're not sure how their stories relate to our lives today. So let's take one of their stories and see how it relates to your story, and God's story too.
THEIR STORY
Take some notes about the story in today's passage of Scripture.
- Who is this story about? (There might be more than one person!)
- What happens to them?
- What do they learn?
- How is God involved in their story?
YOUR STORY
Now, think about your story.
- Who did you relate to most in the story you just read, and why?
- Have you ever experienced anything similar to the story you just read?
- How is your story different from the story you just read?
- Have you ever had to learn a similar lesson?
- Has God ever been involved in your story in a similar way?
GOD'S STORY
So what is the story God is trying to tell, both in the story you just read and in the story of your life right now? You can find it if you look for the ways your stories overlap.
NEXT STEPS
- In the passage, "fishers of men" was an analogy that made sense to the men Jesus invited to follow him. How would you describe what it looks like to share Jesus with others?
- What task or distraction might you need to step away from to better focus on Jesus' goals for you?
- Today, ask God for opportunities to share the invitation to follow Jesus with others.
