Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Bitch, early body praise party. I am Sherry macke. It
- 0:03Speaker 1: is time right down four Today's word when God.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Exceeds your expectation.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Luke five and nine says, for he was awestruck by
- 0:15Speaker 1: the number of fish they had caught, as were the
- 0:18Speaker 1: others with him. You know, there are moments in life
- 0:22Speaker 1: when God does something so extraordinary, so unexpected, that it
- 0:27Speaker 1: leaves us speechless.
- 0:29Speaker 2: We know it wasn't luck.
- 0:31Speaker 1: We know it wasn't coincidence or even human effort alone.
- 0:34Speaker 2: It was the hand of God.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Those are the moments that leave us in awe of God,
- 0:42Speaker 1: just speechless. Peter experienced one of those moments. He had
- 0:47Speaker 1: spent the entire night doing what he knew how.
- 0:50Speaker 2: To do best, which was fishing.
- 0:53Speaker 1: He was experienced, he was skilled, he was hard working,
- 0:56Speaker 1: yet despite all his human efforts, had nothing.
- 1:00Speaker 2: To show for it.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Empty nets, disappointment, frustration, a long night with no results.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Perhaps you've been.
- 1:10Speaker 1: There, you've prayed, you worked hard, you stayed faithful, you've
- 1:14Speaker 1: done the right thing, yet it seems like.
- 1:16Speaker 2: You're coming up empty.
- 1:17Speaker 1: You're wondering if anything will ever change in your life,
- 1:20Speaker 1: in your situation. Then Jesus stepped into Peter's situation.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Come on, Jesus.
- 1:26Speaker 1: He gave him a simple instruction, let down your nets again.
- 1:30Speaker 1: It didn't make sense. Peter had already tried. He was
- 1:33Speaker 1: an experienced fisherman. The conditions hadn't changed, but he chose
- 1:38Speaker 1: obedience over his logic. He trusted Jesus and he cast
- 1:43Speaker 1: his ned one more time. Oh, suddenly everything changed. The
- 1:47Speaker 1: fish came in so fast, in such abundance that the
- 1:51Speaker 1: nets began to break.
- 1:52Speaker 2: The blessing was.
- 1:53Speaker 1: So great that Peter needed help from other boats. What
- 1:56Speaker 1: had been a night of lack turned into a morning
- 1:59Speaker 1: of overflow.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Come own, Jesus.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Notice that Peter didn't have to chase the fish. God
- 2:05Speaker 1: brought the fish to him well, in the same way,
- 2:08Speaker 1: God knows how to bring blessings, opportunities, favors, and breakthroughs
- 2:12Speaker 1: into your life at exactly the right time. He has
- 2:16Speaker 1: resources you knew nothing about, connections you haven't met yet,
- 2:21Speaker 1: and doors he can open that no person can shut.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Too often we get stuck trying to figure it all out.
- 2:29Speaker 1: How God is gonna do it, When He's gonna do it.
- 2:31Speaker 1: We analyze, we calculate, and we reason until we talk
- 2:35Speaker 1: ourselves out of believing. But God's ways are higher than
- 2:40Speaker 1: our ways. He's not limited by what limits us. Your
- 2:43Speaker 1: breakthrough may come from a direction you never even expected.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Your answer may arrive through a door you never even
- 2:52Speaker 1: knew existed.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Today.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Keep casting your neck, keep believing, keep obeying, keep trusting God,
- 2:59Speaker 1: even when the circumstances don't make sense. You may be
- 3:03Speaker 1: one act of obedience away from a blessing that.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Leaves you speechless.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Oh Father, God, thank you that you are a God
- 3:13Speaker 1: of abundance and nothing it's too difficult for you. Thank
- 3:16Speaker 1: you that you know how to bring blessings, favor, and
- 3:19Speaker 1: opportunities into our lives and ways that we could never imagine.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Help us God, to trust you when we don't understand
- 3:25Speaker 1: how things are going to work out. Give us the
- 3:27Speaker 1: faith to keep casting our net, keep on believing your promises. God,
- 3:31Speaker 1: we believe that you're working behind the scenes and that
- 3:34Speaker 1: amazing things are on the way for us. In Jesus' name.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Now that's your word for today.
