Following Jesus' Lead and Direction Luke 5:4-6



Initially Peter wanted to follow his own lead and direction, according to his logic, he was out all night fishing and they did not catch anything, he was tired, hungry and just got through listening to Jesus Preach. Yet, Peter recognized The authority of Jesus' Word and submitted to Jesus' lead and direction. 4When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch." Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."
6When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.

The Lesson is very clear, Present circumstances and trials tempt us to follow our own words, lead, direction and wisdom how we interpret our circumstances apart from Faith through a view of sight and pending trials. Our response initially cause us to walk away from Jesus' Word and Direction.

Embrace your trials, Respond in Faith Believing Jesus' Word, and Obey Jesus' word by Faith doing and following His lead and direction.

The Outcome is beyond all we can think or imagine, the possibilities endless to the abundance how Jesus will provide. The net and the catch was so great that the 2 boats began to sink!

Trust Jesus' lead and direction and enjoy the abundance of His lead and direction.

Peter apart from Jesus direction did not catch anything all night, Peter abiding in Jesus' direction found a great Catch.

Apart from abiding in Christ, I can do nothing! Abiding in Christ, I can do all things, and the possibilities are endless beyond all imagination and thought, the outcome is Victories, as Christ fulfills His life in me.
