When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets” (Luke 5:4-5, NIV).
I can imagine that Simon is tired, but because Jesus tells him to go deeper and let down his nets for a catch he obeys. That’s a disposition of faith that I want to have. I want to obey because Jesus says so. I want to look beyond what my human eyes see and see what He sees and hears what He says. Sometimes I will be required to go deeper and to go against what I have known to trust God and all that He knows. It will require me to have stamina and to persevere, but the reward will be worth it. I just have to trust Jesus and do what He says because He said it.
I don’t know why He wants me to continue to write this blog, but He said to do it so I am doing it. I have to dig deeper into Him and let down my net for a catch.
Father, I thank You for Your word that speaks to me. Than you for convicting me and encouraging me. Thank You for your word that speaks life. Thank You for your love. May I draw ever nearer to You. In Jesus name. Amen
