Scripture Reading: Luke 5:1-11

Luke 5:5 “And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.” 

The scripture today allows us to see we can get more, do more, be more simply by obeying the word of the Lord.

Simon and his crew of trained fisherman had toiled all night. They were professionals, fishing was their trade, but with all of their knowledge and experience they toiled all night and had taken nothing.

As widows let’s keep in mind no matter what we think we know our ears and hearts must always remain open and ready to hear and obey God’s directions. Even after we have done our best obedience will always yield more.

Let down your defenses, let go of your fears and receive the greatness God has prepared.

Nevertheless at thy word…I yield and obey.

Luke 5:6 “And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.”

Blessings!
