THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

YOU’LL BE ASTONISHED BY THE OUTCOMES WHEN YOU HEED GOD’S DIRECTIVES….JUST ONE MORE TIME…..

Throughout Peter’s life, Jesus encouraged him to go above and beyond, to cast his fishing net to the OTHER side of the boat—just ONCE more. These nets were heavy and difficult to maneuver. Despite his hesitation, Peter COMPLIED with Jesus’ request, and the catch he made was EXTRAORDINARY. It’s NATURAL to feel weary and disheartened after persistent efforts yield no VISIBLE success. Yet, when you sense the Master’s voice within urging you to “TRY AGAIN,” resist dismissing what God INTENDS for you. It might defy LOGIC, and every bit of reasoning could SUGGEST it’s impossible. You might think you’re too OLD, or lack the necessary EXPERIENCE. The PROGNOSIS may appear grim, and the odds stacked AGAINST you. However, take a leap of FAITH as the skeptical fishermen did and PROCLAIM, “God, this PROMISE seems illogical. But if it’s Your will, I BELIEVE.” Like Peter, you’ll find yourself ASTONISHED by the OUTCOMES when you heed His directives, just ONE MORE TIME!

Today’s Scripture:

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.”

Luke 5:4, NLT
