When you are fishing in a boat and you’ve been out there for a little
while and all of sudden you you look down and there’s water in the boat. First you
look around for a towel, I mean its just a little water not a big thing just throw
a towel on it, cover it up.
You go back to fishing but soon you go to move and find that the water
is now up to your ankles, you immediately put down your fishing pole and look
for a bucket, a cup anything to begin to bail water out of your boat.
This might work for a little while but until you actually take time and
find the hole and fix the hole then your fishing days are over. Now you might
be able to patch the whole or even ignore it…maybe even just take you boat and
put it on dry land and never fish again.
We are called to be Fishers of Men (Matt. 4:19) we need to be fishing
and if something is stopping us from fishing or fishing effectively we must be
focused on fixing the issue immediately so we can do what we have been called
to do.
