Yet, here was a fisherman, who simply passed on his fishing skills to his sons. He is not known for his leadership in the world’s sense of leadership. Many might have a tendency to look down their nose at someone they thought of as merely a tradesman, unlikely to make an impact on the world. Yet here is a godly man who raised godly fishermen sons, with a desire simply to be faithful to God and to do what was right and obedient. Through his character, his faithfulness, and his leadership, this man impacted the world through his influence on his sons. I thank God for faithful and godly tradesmen.
