Busy Men
Mark 1:16-18
Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.…


God calls men when they are busy; Satan, when they are idle. For idleness is the hour of temptation, and an idle person the devil's tennis ball, which he tosses at pleasure, and sets to work as he likes and lists.

(John Trapp.)
