Jesus, call us to stop.
Stop being so busy.
Stop being so worried or anxious or fearful.
Jesus, call us to trust You.
Help us to realize that nothing happens without Your knowledge.
Jesus, all things work to good for those who love You.
Give us the faith and trust to do that.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday FISHIN' HOLE
https://www.presentationministries.com/series/obob/obob-2020-10-11-en
"Invite to the wedding anyone you come upon." -Matthew 22:9
God wants His house to be full for His heavenly banquet (Lk 14:23). His strategy for filling His house is to
send His servants all over His kingdom, especially to the byroads (Mt 22:9), alleys (Lk 14:21), and other
unlikely places. Thus, God's banquet will only be filled if His servants "come upon" (Mt 22:9) people that
are hard to locate.
Jesus understands this dilemma. That's why He specifically calls His servants "fishers of men" (Mt 4:19).
Any fisherman who wants to bring home a catch knows that he will probably not easily "come upon" large
numbers of fish; rather, he must learn "how to cope with every circumstance" (Phil 4:12). He knows that he
must study the habits of the fish and spend much time, effort, and frustration learning their favorite
feeding places and times. A leisurely midday fishing trip might be convenient for the fisherman, but he will
likely bring home an empty boat. His best catch might come before dawn, in freezing weather, in dangerous
waters, or after many unsuccessful attempts. The main question is: Will the fisherman take the trouble to
"come upon" the fish?
Politicians, salespeople, telemarketers, and researchers understand this concept clearly. Their daring
boldness in reaching the unreachable leads to success in their ventures. Followers of Jesus, "open your eyes
and see! The fields are shining for harvest!" (Jn 4:35) There's a house to be filled. Bring them in (Lk 14:21).
Prayer: Father, I will take the appropriate initiative to reach the people You want me to come upon (Lk 16:8).
Promise: "My God in turn will supply your needs fully, in a way worthy of His magnificent riches in Christ
Jesus." -Phil 4:19
Praise: "Because of His affliction He shall see the light in fullness of days" (Is 53:11). Risen Jesus, You
are the Light of the World leading us to salvation!
