A miraculous catch

Most of the time when God performs a miraculous thing in your life, it's because you might have listened and did what you felt led to do...

Since it's Friday morning, I will try my very best to keep this short and sweet. 

There is a story in Luke 5 where Jesus provides a miraculous catch of Fish. Most people have probably heard this story before...Jesus tells Simon and the fisherman to cast their nets in deep water, they do it, and they catch so many fish that the two boats nearly sink...

What happens before that I hadn't noticed until this morning...

He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat. (Luke 5:3)

Before the miraculous catch of fish, Jesus got into the boats and taught not only Simon, but also the people. They didn't have a miraculous catch out of happenstance. Jesus was personable and was teaching them what to do...they just had to do it.

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)

There are things that we learn everyday from the word of God...and God wants us to do what we learn so we reap the harvest and get to experience his love and fulfillment. 

Jesus taught Simon...told him what do to...of course Simon was a little doubtful at first...but he remembered that if Jesus told him to do something...he better do it...and look what happened. 

Whatever you situation might be today. Live a life that is obedient to the word of God and I promise you will not have any regrets.

I believe that one of the things that hold people back from having a relationship with Christ is the feeling that they for some reason think...
