Let Down Your Nets
With deep gratitude, I thanked Him that His attention extended also to our earthly needs. (Elizabeth) (February 14, 1965)
Today’s Readings: After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Simon said in reply, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.” When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. (Luke 5)
Prayer Meditation- Lord how often we try to do it all in our own strength. We work hard and long hours and we feel we have nothing to show for it. We never think to turn to You first in our daily lives- we just keep spinning our wheels. But Lord, if we let You into our boats and listened to You and put out into the deep water, even when it does not make sense, we would know that , You are with us. You are whispering in our trials and our failures. You take the little effort we can give and You multiply it with just one touch of Your Grace and Favor! You are telling us today- do not be afraid and to have confidence in You because You always know what we need and what is best for us and You are always more than enough!
