Fishing lessons (4)

‘Launch out into the deep and let down your nets.' Luke 5:4 NKJV

Lesson four: God's plan for your life always involves risk. Why? Because He wants you to live by faith. Why do you think Jesus said to Peter, ‘Launch out into the deep'? Because that's where the big fish are.

Most people live out their days in the shallow waters of life. They exist on a superficial level. There's little depth to their lives; they're content to play around the edge, never getting out into deeper water. Why? Because it's safer in shallow water. They think, ‘If I get out into the deep water, there might be some waves. They might rock my boat, and it might overturn. So I'll just stay back here where it's comfortable, and fiddle around.'

We barely get our feet wet because we're afraid of getting in over our heads. We think, ‘If I really get serious about my commitment to the Lord, He may make me a fanatic. My family might get really upset. What will my friends think? What if God asks me to do something I'm unable to do?' So we're content to stay in the shallows—and we miss out on so much.

Understand this: God's plan for your life is a good plan, one that will work for your benefit (see ). He says, ‘Let Me get into your boat. Let My presence be with you wherever you go—in your business, in your career, in your family, in your marriage, in every area. Let Me direct you. Cooperate with My plan, and I will bless you beyond your wildest dreams.'

Why not take Him at His word today, and launch out in faith?

SoulFood: Acts 6-7, Luke 7:1-10, Ps 118:1-9, Pr 15:27-30

When You Have A Vision

I was not disobedient to the vision.' Acts 26:19 NIV

When God gives you a vision for your life, you need to know how to:

(1) Hold it. Your vision is governed by a time frame: If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place.' (Habakkuk 2:3 NLT) Some of us can...More

Thoughts on the Gospel of John (113)

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him my Father will honour.
John 12:25.26.
