“After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.” And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.”‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:27-28‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Luke writes, “And leaving everything, he rose and followed him.” He didn’t write that Levi thought Jesus was great. He didn’t write that Levi respected and admired Jesus. He wrote that Levi left everything, then he followed Jesus. Do we have anything that we are not leaving in order to follow Jesus? It probably isn’t your profession like Levi, but is there something you are hanging on to that is preventing you from really following Jesus? “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I come to give you life, life to the full”(John 10:10). Please pray that we and our friends ask Jesus in prayer to reveal anything in our lives that are preventing us from following Him. Please pray for Ken and Paul’s group.
