CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Moving out of comfort zones

Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. — Luke 5:4

Peter was comfortable fishing at night along the shoreline. But to launch out into the deep during the day, that's another thing entirely. God’s plan for us always involves risk. Why? You may ask. I think it is because He wants us to live by faith. Why do you think Jesus said to Peter, “Launch out into the deep”? Because that’s where the big fish are.

Most people live out their days in the shallow waters of life. They exist on a superficial level. There’s little depth to their lives; they’re content to play around the edge, never getting out into deeper water. Why? Because it’s safer in shallow water. They think, “If I get out into the deep water, there might be some terrible waves that will surely rock my boat, and it might overturn. So, I’ll just stay back here where it’s comfortable and safe.”

Understand this; God’s plan for us is good, one that will work for our benefit Jeremiah 29:11-14. Therefore, when he says “launch out into the deep” let’s not be afraid but launch, for his plan never fails, and he will never leave us to go alone. He will be with us all through the way; from the beginning to the end Matthew 28:20 “… And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”. Only those people who are willing to follow their Lord's lead into the deep where the waters are over their heads ever really make a difference. Why not take Him at His word today, and launch out in faith?

PRAYER

Lord, I may not understand everything, but I know your path is the best for me. Please reveal your path for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
