But
If
You Say So
Scripture
Luke 5
4 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.”
5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn’t catch a thing. But if you say so, I’ll let the nets down again.”
6 And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear! 7 A shout for help brought their partners in the other boat, and soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking.
Observation
I
love this story!
Take
a minute and read Luke 5 maybe it will become one of your favorites too!
Obedience
is the key to living a victorious Christian life.
This
was a test for Jesus’ followers. Would they be obedient to His Word?
They
were the fishermen and He was a carpenter. … But He would show them that He was
more than a carpenter – He would show them that He is God!
Last
night some of the guys in our men’s small group came straight from work. They
were probably tired and hungry. They didn’t have time to change out of their
work clothes.
They
didn’t have time to go home and get a shower and clean up. One of them has to
fight traffic from his work place in St. Pete and yet he never misses a
Wednesday!
These
guys are modeling what Jesus wants all of us to learn! Obedience – whether we
feel like it or not! It is the key to living a victorious Christian life!
What
step of obedience is Jesus asking you and me to take?
Application
I
will strive to be obedient to what I know God has asked me to do. How about
you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You more than anyone else know how selfish I am. You know how easy it
is for me to do what I want to do rather than seek Your guidance. Help me to
pray first. Help me to be obedient. Help me make You smile!
I
pray for the guys that are coming to our men’s group. Help these men live godly
lives. Help them make good choices this week. Give them a desire to be in Your
Word. Help them to be the best husbands, the best fathers, and I pray that
people will see Jesus in them.
