Listen to the call

12/10- Matthew 9:9-12- “Follow me, Jesus said, and Matthew got up and followed him…I have come not to call the righteous, but sinners.”  

Thoughts: The great word to us is a great call to us.  It is a call by the Holy Spirit to drop our nets and follow Him.  It is a call to listen to His voice to walk on the ancient path and the narrow way.  The problem with the righteous is they are content to not listen.  They think they know the way- and need no help- no outside word to guide them.  Sinners are humbled enough to listen and walk in the right way.   Jesus came to show us the way- the right path.  It is the path of grace- the path of listening to an outside Word from God.  Jesus came to call us to Himself.  The call is to drop our distractions and to walk in His way and to serve Him by serving others.  

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your call on our lives.  Help me to have ears to hear it and to follow in your footsteps.
