Don’t Throw In The Towel - Throw Out The Net!'Throw out your net... And you’ll get plenty.' John 21:6
Just when the disciples were ready to give up, Jesus showed up and said, 'Throw out your net on the right-hand side... and you’ll get plenty... ' They did and 'couldn’t draw in the net because of the weight of the fish... ' When you’re at your lowest point, when everything you’ve tried has failed, don’t throw in the towel - throw out the net! You’re closer to winning than you think. There’s nothing wrong with your boat or your crew. You’re exactly where you should be. The enemy knows that with a few more pulls on the oar you’ll be right in the middle of your biggest catch. He’s tried to delay your blessing while you struggle, grow frustrated and get weary. But he can’t win, because God says, 'No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper... This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord... ' (Isaiah 54:17). Are you serving God? If so, this is your heritage! God’s holding your blessing under the boat. He’s even put your name on it, so don’t worry about somebody else taking it. What you can’t accomplish by struggling all night, God can accomplish in an instant by His spoken word. The strange thing is, the disciples didn’t recognize that it was Jesus who spoke to them the next morning. That’s how God works; He just speaks a word and enables you to do what you couldn’t do before. So be encouraged today; don’t throw in the towel - throw out the net!

I feel I maybe losing a love relationship I want so much to be successful. Something I did seemingly meaningless to me but was interpreted as disloyalty and trust was lost. I seek Gods forgiveness. I cast out a net to find this love bountiful and amazing again. Amen
