At once

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. fishermen1They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him.
Matthew 4:18-20

Discipleship is about turning from our ways and following Jesus at once.

Peter and Andrew left what they were comfortable with and followed Jesus. These 2 men chose to walk away the very activity that was consuming their time and attention to spend time with Jesus at once.

In our lives we often times leave Jesus to spend time on our activities because we feel that our activities are more important that Jesus.

Whether it is our family, our ministry, our church, or our jobs, we must be willing to leave our activities to follow Jesus.
