Read Matthew 4:18-22
It is true that many of us are tempted to think we should make something of our lives and at a same time follow Jesus. We will most probably ended up being mediocre lukewarm Christian instead of one that bear good fruit for the extension of God's Kingdom - be fisher of men.
Jesus asks us to first follow Him and then He makes something of our lives. A person who truly have Christ in them will always see the needs of others and their eternity as their main priority.
Dear Father, thank You for Your grace and mercy in giving the greatest gift a person can have in their life. Teach me to prioritize well in all that I do. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
