Believe And You Will Be Blessed

Believe and You Will Be Blessed “I know it is the right thing to do, but you are asking me to do what I am not comfortable doing.” When we find ourselves at a dead end we often will stop dead in our tracks. God will always put something wonderful on our hearts. If we interpret His wonderful graces as hardships, so they will be. If we accept God’s wonderful graces, so they will be. Acceptance of what God intends for us is key to our peace and to our relationship with Him. Do not be afraid, from now on you will be blessed. When we believe in God, when we acknowledge His greatness, when we allow our hearts to say yes, we receive God’s blessings. Luke 5:1-11 Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, 'Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.' Simon answered, 'Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.' When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, 'Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!' For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, 'Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.' When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.
