Living wisely -- Listen to Jesus.
Read Luke 5:1-11
What a great story. Jesus swipes a boat, speaks the truth, then asks Peter and the boys to go out for a float. He tells them to put down the nets, knowing they aren't really up for suggestions with regard to the fishing. When they do so, expecting nothing, they are overwhlemed by what happens. Nets overflowing, and the realization that there is something true and radically different about Jesus. So much so that Peter tries to send Jesus away, for fear and realization of who Jesus is and what Peter is. Then Jesus issues a call -- Follow, and you've got a new job, by the way. Instead of stammering about, listen. Lesson learned.
When it comes to living wisely, wouldn't it be prudent if we would listen and do what Jesus says? How often do we choose not to, and what are the consequences?
