So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. — Luke 5:20
They obeyed and left everything.
They followed Him wherever He went.
They left family, friends, homes, and all they had.
I find it hard just to leave the busy-ness of my life.
Help me, Lord, to leave wverything for You.
Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” — Luke 5:10
Simon obeyed and followed Jesus.
He spread the word about Jesus' teachings.
And he tried to obey His words.
Even when it was scary.
Jesus told him not to be afraid.
Help me to obey you, too, Lord.
Jesus got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat. — Luke 5:3
In the book of Luke, Jesus got into a boat to teach the people.
Martin Luther King also shared the Gospel with people.
He taught them about God's love and the saving grace of Jesus.
And he taught them to care about others, similar to the way the Good Samaritan took care of the stranger who was left at the side of the road.
Help us, Lord, to do the same.
One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. — Luke 5:1

He spoke to them by the lake.
I enjoy listening to God's Word.
And reading it.
Each time I read a passage, it seems to have application for my life in different ways.
It is living and active.
Thanks be to God!
At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” — Luke 4:42-43
God calls us to spend time in solitude with Him.
Jesus told the crowd that He must proclaim the good news.
God asks us to tell the good news of the kingdom of God, too.
Help me, Lord, to obey.
At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah. — Luke 4:40

Jesus healed people who had various kinds of sickness.
He heals us today, too.
The demons were shouting that Jesus is the Son of God!
They knew that He was the Messiah.
We know that, too.
He is the Great Physician.
We are thankful and blessed.
All the people were amazed and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area. — Luke 4:36-37
And he spoke with power.
He ordered impure spirits to come out of people.
The news about him spread throughout the area.
People were amazed with the words he spoke.
He is the Son of God.
