Life is full
of heavy burdens that we wish would just disappear. Wouldn't it be nice to be
able to turn back the clock to some of our events in our life?
The answer
to this question would be, It's not in God's plan. The lord knew you before you
were ever born.
Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out
of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the
nations.
We need to
put our total trust in the Lord, because he knows best.
Question:
Which is greater? the mold that makes the bottle, or the bottle itself from the
mold? The answer would be the mold, because the bottle itself cannot make
itself.
Our best
direction and advise would be, go to the creator he know you more then you know
yourself.
Psalm 139:1-5,13 O LORD, thou hast
searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
13-For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
Lets read from the book of St. John in the 21st Chapter and in verse 4-11
This is a great message how wonderful Jesus truly is to come back to Peter that betrayed him on the trial for his crucifixion. Jesus was very merciful to Peter to come back to him, because he know him better then he know himself. Jesus had a plan for Peter.
We could try hard on our own, and it seems like we are not getting anywhere, but when the Lord Jesus show up he provide the answer to the best solution to provide what we have been trying so hard to do on our own we receive our blessings come true. This is a real true blessing. Having Jesus in our thoughts, and especially living in our heart, and living the life makes a big diffidence on our daily decision.
Think about this for a moment they were fishing all night and caught nothing.
John 21:1-3 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. 2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 3Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
Here we see Jesus Christ opening the fisherman's eyes to a miracle that didn't take all night to happen. Praise the lord!
Verses 4-11 4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. 6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. 8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. 11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
The Lesson taught to Simon Peter
was that Jesus wanted him preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and save soul. The
net was not made to support so many fish, but through Jesus Christ name all
things are possible. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and all your mind
and don't lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with
all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Remember in
the beginning when Jesus Christ called out to Peter doing the same thing, "Fishing"
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
Matthew 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two
brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the
sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith
unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers
of men
If we look through our own eyes in
the carnality of the flesh we want it our way, and this may not be what God has
planned for your life. If we lose our vision to please God the people will
perish. Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
