...and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.
I've often wondered about the wives of the disciples. What did they think when their husbands came home and told them they'd found the Messiah? Did they pack up the family and go with them? Did they stay and hold down the fort? Did they fret about how their needs would be met with their husbands not working? Did they worry about what the neighbors would think? Did they fear for their safety?
The Scriptures don't tell us. What they do say is that these men left everything to follow Jesus. They put Jesus first, and followed Him to death.
We must never stand between our husbands and God's will for them. If God says go - whether it's to the mission field, to the pulpit, or to stand up against corrupt business practices - we need to support them. God will take care of the rest.
