Part Five - I can trust God

Jesus wanted to tell everyone about God, but He needed some help to spread the good news so he went to find some people that could help him. As Jesus was walking along the seashore he saw some fishermen. He said to them, ‘Come, I will make you fishers of men’ 

What do you think Jesus meant by ‘fishers of men?’ 

Jesus had 12 helpers – he called them his disciples. He taught them all about God’s love so that they could go and tell other people about His love too. Jesus and the disciples went out and shared with everyone about the love of God. 

The disciples had to trust God, because they had left their jobs as fishermen so that they could tell everyone about God. God had called them in order to fulfil His plans. 

God may call people to go all over the world (missionaries) so that they too people about Jesus and how much God loves them. Many of them will have to leave jobs, homes and family to pursue the call that God has for them. This requires a lot of trust!

God wants the best for us, so we can trust Him but sometimes that is not always easy! God sometimes calls us to go to different places and do different things so that we can grow in boldness, confidence and trust in him. We can trust God because we know that He has good plans for us!

Ask: 

Do you find it easy to trust God? 

Do you find it easy to share about Jesus with those around you?

Who can you share Jesus with today? How? 

Pray: 

Dear God, thank you for the plans that you have for me. Thank you that I can trust that you always have the best for me. Thank you for the people that go all over the world to tell other people about Jesus. I pray that I grow in my trust of you and in my confidence to tell others about Jesus too. Amen.
