Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App
The scripture is from Luke5:4-6, “When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.’ Simon answered him, ‘Master, we worked all night, and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.’ When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.”
The devotion is titled Not All fishing Nets Look Alike by Darla Noble. This devotion reminds me of our situation. It is almost identical to what Darla and her family went through. We were a family of 6. Our situation got so bad that our children were wrapping old toys so there was something underneath the Christmas tree. Like Darla I spent more time worrying about our lack of finances. I felt sorry for what was happening in our lives. Like her, realized how much we really had. We had a place to live, food to eat, healthy children, and a loving supportive church. God never failed us. God had shown us evidence of His miraculous provisions.
Reflection: What are some doubts you have about trusting God to work miracles in your life? Are you going to give them to God and ask him to prove your fears wrong?
Here was my response: After what my family and I had gone through, I have no issues or doubts. If I had any doubts, I will ask Him to prove me wrong.
My Prayer for us: Dear God, Thank you for your many blessings. Thank you for directing us when and where to go “fishing”. Help us to always listen to Your guidance that You provide. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
