Matthew 9:9
As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.
You also were not waiting in a quiet place when God called you. Neither was Matthew. He was knee-deep in ledgers, coins clicking, and customers grumbling. He was fully occupied in the life he knew. Jesus walked right past the synagogue to find him.
That tells you something. God is not looking for empty schedules. He is looking for willing hearts. The call came like a thunderclap in two words: Follow Me! It was not an invitation to consider. It was a command to obey. And here is the harder truth: Matthew could not follow without first leaving. The booth had to stay behind. Whatever holds you in place holds you back.
Jesus still walks past busy desks, cluttered lives, and comfortable routines. He is still speaking. The only question is whether you will answer.

Suggested Prayer: Lord, find me where I am, speak clearly into my busyness, and give me courage to rise and follow You.
