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.

Today's Thought: We fail when we do it alone. 

Simon was an experienced fisherman.  He knew all the tricks and ways to catch schools of fishes. But he was instructed by someone younger than him, and worst,  the fisherman was taught by a carpenter on how to fish. 

There are things we couldn't control.  We cannot control the weather.  We cannot stop time.  There are many things we failed at because there are circumstances beyond our hand.  Even how experienced we think or how masterful our ways are,  we fail. 

But there is victory in Jesus.  If we want to see great things in our lives,  let us allow God to have dominion over us. 

Luke 5:3  And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

Today's Thought: Unless we allow God to take possession of everything we are and we have,  He can never real King of our lives. 

Whatever we give to the Lord He will use for His honor and glory.  When the Lord entered the boat of Simon He took control of the same and Simon obeyed the Lord.  When the Lord comes into our life He also took control of our lives.

However,  God wants us to be willing to yield our lives,  our talent,  our wealth,  our all.  The Lord Jesus wants to be the Lord of our lives but we must obey Him. 

Let us pray for grace that we may be able to yield unto the Lord everything we have and all we are everyday of our lives.  Let us allow God to work in our lives. 

Luke 8:1-3
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

Galatians 5:13For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 

Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that they may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
