Grace for your spirit
So Jesus said to them, "Children, you do not have any fish, do you?" They answered Him, "No."And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch." So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish. John 21:5-6
When Jesus first called His apostles by the Sea of Galilee, they had been fishing all night, and had nothing. At His direction, they cast their nets and were overwhelmed. Then Jesus called them to be fishers of men. After Jesus went to the cross, some of His discouraged apostles went fishing again. Jesus needed to get them out of their boats and back into ministry. He used the same kind of miracle. At His direction, they were once again catching fish. The message Jesus wanted them to get was clear. There would be no success without His blessing, and their blessings would come fishing for men. They would soon leave their nets permanently, and spread the good news to the whole world. Have we been disappointed and returned to our old paths? Jesus wants us to realize that we will only be successful when we are walking with Him, and walking with Him, we will be fishers of men.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
