Deep Water

Whisper of God
"Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch." (Luke 5:4 MsgB)

Observation -
Peter and the others had a tough night fishing with nothing to who for it. As the mended nets Jesus taught the crowd. Then Jesus asked them to do the unexpected, "Push out to the deep water for a catch." Tired as Peter was he nevertheless did what Jesus asked. The result? A great catch of fish.
When I think of deep water it bring to mind being in over your head, or being in trouble yet it was from the deep water at an unexpected time for a seasoned fisherman that a great catch of fish came about.

Real Life
I must be willing to simply obey the direction of Jesus, even when He leads me into places that I may not expect.

Day's Prayer
Lord, I'm a lot like Peter. I think I know what is best. Your ways are not my ways. Help me to be willing to follow Your leading, even into those unexpected places. Help me to believe that where You lead You will provide...abundantly.
