Matthew 4:20 NKJV

They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

Matthew 4:20 NKJV

Jesus saw Simon Peter and Andrew doing their job, casting their nets into the sea. When Jesus called them, both of them left their nets and followed Jesus.

Simon Peter, Andrew and the other disciples left everything to follow Jesus. They left their source of income and somehow had confidence in the one who called is able to provide.

There were no records of family left without food but had all their needs met including paying taxes.

One of the many blessings in following Jesus is that all that we will ever need for that call is provided for.

There were supernatural provision like a gold coin in the fish mouth and wealthy people moved to give towards Christ's work.

God had His provision set for all of His children for His purpose to be fulfilled. The manifestation of the provision happened as they went about doing what God had called them to do.

When most of the disciples left Jesus with regards to the eating His flesh and drinking His blood in John 6, Peter told Jesus they have no where to go as Jesus has the words of eternal life.

Peter knew what matters most in life and he would give up everything to receive it from Jesus. They had persecution, resistance and all kinds of challenges yet at the end the eleven came back to do the work of Christ.

We need to be confident in the one who has called us. Knowing that our needs will always be taken care of at all times.

Let our confidence be so assured that He who calls had it all covered before we take our first step of faith.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
