· Matthew 9:9–13
Jesus meets Matthew in the middle of an ordinary working day. The invitation to follow him does not wait for a perfectly organised life. Notice where you have been postponing a good beginning until everything feels easier. A small response is possible today.
A question to sit with
What good beginning have I postponed?
One small step
Make five quiet minutes for prayer before your next task.
Pray
Jesus, meet me where I am and help me take the next step with You. Amen.
