# 234 Today’s Living Word comes from Mark 1:16,17 “And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. Then Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."
This was not the first meeting of Jesus with Simon and Andrew. In the Gospel of John we read that shortly after Jesus was baptized Andrew had a personal encounter with Jesus by which he was convinced that Jesus was the Messiah. He was so excited by this news that he immediately sought out his brother Simon and brought him to Jesus. Jesus immediately gave Simon the name of Peter.
Having found the Messiah, the two went back to their homes and resumed their occupations of fishermen. Good advice for all of us as the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 7:20, “Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called.”
Jesus knew where to find them and He knew when the time was right to put His call on their lives. He knows where to find you too and if He desires to place another call on your life, He will do it. In the meantime seek to grow and serve right where you are.
