#received The Daily Word of Hope Devotional Bible Fact: The word “Grand Mother’ appears in the bible only once (2 Tim. 1:5). † I Will Let Down the Nets † And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch. And Simon answered, Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets. And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. Luke 5:4–6 ESV After a long night of fishing, they had caught nothing. Peter, James, and his brother John were washing the nets and going home when Jesus came down to the waters edge and asked to use one of their boats as a pulpit to preach from. When Jesus was done teaching, He told Peter to “Try it again.” When he did they caught more fish than the boats could hold. Sometimes God calls us to do something that we have already done and failed at, but there is a huge difference when He is in the boat with us. His grace makes all things possible and you can do all things through Christ when He strengthens you. If you feel God asking you to do something, but you have already been there and done that, be open to the idea. Even though you have toiled all night and caught nothing, at His word, let down the nets once again and trust Him to fill it. Yours in Christ, Dion Todd - Pastor/Servant
