Day 172: The Fanaticism of Fishing

It’s rather interesting, first of all, to notice that the first four men Jesus called were fishermen. Now I’ve never been a fisherman, but I think I understand the wisdom of God in some measure. Fishermen are a race apart. Some of you here undoubtedly are fishermen. They are fanatics. I mean, they don’t care about the weather, whether fish bite or don’t bite, really doesn’t matter to them. They’ll sit huddled on the bank of the river in the rain covered with some kind of umbrella and just gaze at the water. Circumstances don’t bother them, discouragement doesn’t affect them, and I really believe Christians should be like that.
