Are you fishing for a husband , a wife , money? Today I realized so much of the time , I am fishing for compliments. The praises of men rather than the praises of God. Not that I wanted to be exalted, but rather liked. Then when I am noticed I think I would rather be un-noticed. It is a delicate balance and I'm working on being content with knowing that I'm doing the Masters work.I love to be with people and do things for them, but I love it even more when I keep quiet and let God receive the glory that He's due. I want to be a fisher of men rather than a fisher of the spotlight. Today I'm fishing for a closer walk with God, a peace in the midst of the storm. When I am obedient rather than showy, the joy that floods my soul that is unspeakable.There are many in the Bible who were content just to be with Jesus and even suffer afflictions.This year,I have made a resolution to be a hidden vessel, but at times I find it a struggle. But God sees more than I ever can or will and so I am hoping that this may help someone else who may be going through a similar situation. I'm fishing for peace and a closer walk with God.Im fishing for the praises of God rather than the praises of men. I have been fishing for health, money, praise.. all of this when you catch it, what good has it really done? I am reminded of King Solomon, he had everything a man could want, but it still wasn't satisfying. What are you fishing for today? Only Jesus can satisfy our souls.
