Luke 5:4-5 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.” “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.”
We probably all find our Christian walk is like that. All is going smoothly then the Lord takes us to something where we can’t see round the corner, we have to do it in faith.
There are times when we know, that we know, what God has asked us to do and all we have to do is follow, regardless of whether we can see where we’re headed or not. We just trust the Lord to lead us each step of the way. But there are times when we have to step out in faith, if we’re ever going to do what God wants us to do, when the way ahead is so unclear.
He told Peter to launch out into the deep when everything in Peter wanted to say ‘That doesn’t make any sense Lord. I’ve already tried and it didn’t work.’ Instead Peter chose to obey and we know he ended up with a blessing of fish that almost sank his boat it was so big and so good.
God is looking for people who will obey Him even if we’ve tried and failed before or when it doesn’t make sense to our own minds, because He always has a good reason for asking us to do something, it’s not random.
So this is to encourage anyone who is facing a curve in the road where you can’t see where it’s leading to just do whatever God has put in your heart and trust Him to provide all you need.
Scripture says God is pleased when we step out in faith, so let’s keep following Him one step at a time and He’ll show us what to do next, when we need to know.😊
Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
