Purpose

Psalm 57:1-3

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

          Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,

                   for in you my soul takes refuge;

          in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,

                   till the storms of destruction pass by.

          I cry out to God Most High,

                   to God who fulfills his purpose for me.

          He will send from heaven and save me;

                   he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah

          God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness! 

 

Mark 1:16–20

Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.
