Fair trade … I help you; you help me

Morning: Psalm 89:1-18; Hosea 2:14-23; Acts 20:17-38

When Jesus gives unsolicited advice to a group of seasoned Galilee fishermen, they probably think, “Who does this carpenter think he is!?” or worse.  Simon is more polite in the story … “Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.”  Then they catch a couple of boatloads of fish.  The message? … Jesus can help us with our everyday work, and when that’s done, he may say, “Come with me. Don’t be afraid. I have something you can help me with now … people.”  Fair trade.
