'Experiencing the miraculous!
'...NEVERTHELESS AT THY WORD I WILL...' LUKE 5:5
After fishing all night and catching nothing, Jesus said to His disciples, 'Launch out into the deep and let down your nets...' (Luke 5:4 KJV). Can you imagine their thoughts? The test of faith comes when:
a) nothing you have tried has worked
b) the word God gives you seems to make no sense at all. Notice Peter's answer: '...nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net' (Luke 5:5 KJV). He got it right! Doubt your doubts but never doubt God. Why? Because He's not subject to your circumstances! One word from Him can change everything.
Listen to what happened next: 'When they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake' (Luke 5:6 KJV). Here are four important lessons for you today:
1) sometimes He'll involve you in one thing to teach you another. Soon Jesus was going to involve them in an even greater miracle - catching multitudes and bringing them into His kingdom
2) He'll use the common to do the uncommon. In their workplace where nothing special ever happened, Jesus suddenly showed up and changed everything. Look for Him today in the commonplace, or you will miss Him
3) He'll move you from the security of the shore to the risks of the deep. You have got to experience the great storms in order to enjoy the great catches. No risk, no reward!
4) when you obey God nets break, needs are met, minds are blown and He is glorified But remember, you cannot even begin to live miraculously until you can say, '...nevertheless at thy word I will...' (Luke 5:5 KJV).
