Both Boats So Full
Those Who Follow the Way, the Truth, and the Life!
Those Who Get to Testify of the Wonders of God!!
So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full they began to sink. Luke 5: 7
Simon who became the Apostle Peter, had just obeyed Jesus in faith.
He and his team had worked all night and caught nothing.
He was tired and exhausted.
They had just been listening to Jesus preach to the crowd.
Jesus had even taken their boat to preach from that all could hear him.
So to bless Him-Peter, God-Jesus- gave him an opportunity.
An opportunity to act in faith believing Jesus’s words over what he saw and knew in the natural.
Even though the circumstances screamed at Peter that there was no hope, he still obeyed Jesus and put his nets back in the water.
Then Simon-Peter received the blessing of more fish than he could contain.
Which to Peter was prosperity, provision for him, his team and his family.
God-Jesus- is showing us just how kind He is.
The blessing of Simon Peter’s obedience was so big, that it spread to His team.
That there was more fish-prosperity-provision-that both boats had to be used to collect the blessing and both were full.
God is showing us the principle that as we, an individual person, obey Jesus, we will not only reap a blessing and be provided for, but that God will provide for those around us, too.
May we know that we know that we know, that God will bless us as we trust His words and obey them.
May we know that we know that we know, that God provides for His people, for He knows what we need, and as we seek Him, He opens the Heavens of blessings.
May we know that we know that we know, God, blesses us by honoring our obedience, blessing those around us, for our obedience to Him.
May we know that we know that we know, we can impact all those we love, for good, if we just stay faithful to Jesus.
May we know that we know that we know, God loves us, Jesus is for us, and they are extravagant providers, for they own the world.
