Go deeper

When He finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Now go out where it is deeper, & let down your nets to catch some fish" (Luke 5:4 NLT)

So they had worked hard all night, they had seen no results, they were tired, & Jesus says go out deeper & let down the nets one more time.  What do you do, tell the Savior of the world "No I tired". I do think sometimes we do that & we miss out on the reward.  Peter would have if he hadn't listened.  We think,"I've tried that & it didn't work so we give up one time too soon.  Maybe it was on a dream, maybe it was witnessing to someone, or o a ministry God has called you to do.  Sometimes we just need to do it one more time.  Other times He wants us to go out deeper.  Deeper can be scary but it can be very rewarding.  When God takes us out deeper, he does so to prepare us for a great work.  That's where our faith grows & we learn to depend on Him.  So I want to encourage you if you're tired or feeling like giving up.  Don't be afraid to go out deeper, God is there too.  Don't quit one time too soon, God will give you the strength you need.  Go deeper, cast out your nets one more time, & pull in the reward God has for you!
