When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch."Luke 5:4When Jesus’ was first calling his disciples he was teaching from the shore of a lake and told them to go out in deep and catch fish but they told him they had already and never caught anything but they obeyed and nets were so full they almost tore.Do you have faith in God that His promises are true and He will rescue us from deadly pestilences and other problems all in his perfect timing? Do you believe His word and study it? You can’t truly have intimacy and a desire for spiritual things and grow unless you read the word but how many well meaning souls just trudge through life acting like a worldly creature enamored more with this present world than with God?
Maybe it is time to launch out into the deep and go further. Perhaps you live with a person that just doesn’t care to know God better than little tidbits and it may break your heart. Or your grown children have wandered away from the faith and seemingly no desire either. Keep praying. Keep launching your nets out to deeper waters and desire his truths. You will change I guarantee it. Don’t ever start to get lukewarm for you need to keep going into deeper waters on fire for Jesus and winning others to Christ.PRAYER: I want to be fearless when it comes to launching out into deeper waters. Help my unbelief when I get scared thinking nothing is going to happen. Give me immovable faith and help me stand strong in the dark days ahead. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
