Luke 5:5
And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took
nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”
Peter exhibited faith in the spoken words of His Master,
Jesus. Even though his instincts told
him that it was highly questionable to expect a worthwhile catch, he dropped
his nets. He had faith that Jesus’ words
were more powerful than the forces of nature that he knew were unlikely to
deliver a decent catch at this place and time of day. His faith was rewarded. His nets were filled beyond the point of
bursting.
It is important to realize that there is power in the Word
of God. If there is a promise in the
Holy Bible, it holds victory over all the forces of this earth and all the forces
of evil that might try to come against it.
No matter what we think the limits of this world hold in store for us,
the Word of God promises exceedingly more.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for giving us Your Holy Word to teach us the things that we are promised as inheritors of Your kingdom. Show us how to live our lives in accordance with Your Word and in reliance upon Your promises. Strengthen us to stand against everything that comes against us, knowing that through Our Savior we have victory over every circumstance.
