In our passage today (Luke 5:27-31) where Jesus calls Levi from his tax booth to become his disciple, I am struck by Levi's joyful response. Notice how happy he is to be able to follow Jesus. No doubt, a work was already taking place in his heart, to where he was longing to follow the Lord and when Jesus called him that day, he was so ready.
Would to God that he would do such a work of preparation in our hearts that when we are challenged to follow Jesus in a fresh way, we would jump at the chance, and be filled with joy and gratitude for the privilege.
