As Jesus moved through villages, healing the sick and casting out devils, He saw a man named Matthew, a tax collector. “Follow me,” he said. Just as Peter, James, and John left their fishing nets, Matthew got up and went with Him.
 
To follow Jesus, reading the Bible and praying every day is a must. That's where you get following instructions. It’s the vitamins of the spiritual life. The Book of Mathew is a good place to start reading.
 
Years ago when I worked, I just couldn’t find time to read the Bible. I wanted to. The Lord showed me that I had to set priorities and make it happen. I started getting up thirty minutes earlier. After the forty-minute drive into Little Rock, I read my Bible in the parking lot at work before going inside.
 
Find time to be alone with God every day. God’s word is powerful. It prepares you for the storms of life.
