Flash Point.

At once they left their nets and followed him. Matthew 4:20


Flash point is a term used in chemistry to describe the minimum temperature at which ignition can occur. The term is also used to describe the point at which significant action occurs. That is, the point at which something begins to happen. As Christians we must always remember nothing happens until we do something.

Peter, Andrew, James and John were at work when Jesus called them to follow him. Peter and Andrew were casting their nets into the sea while James and John were working with their father, Zebedee, mending nets. I believe it is significant that Jesus chose men who were at work. Jesus chose men who were largely responsible for the rapid spread of the Gospel. He chose them and things began to happen. We live in communities in need of workers. We are in desperate need of men and women willing to reach the flash point and begin to live for God.

My prayer for you today is that you realize the harvest is plentiful but the laborers few and make yourself available to work for the kingdom.
