Excess & Overflow~

TGIF blessings~

John 21:6 “Then Jesus said, ‘Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you'll get some!’ So they did, and they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it.”

Right before this verse we learn that some of the disciples, who were fishermen by trade, had been fishing all night long but hadn’t caught a single fish.

I bet it was a long and exhausting night for them.  Imagine, all that work and nothing to show for it.  Been there/done that.

Ever tried talking sense into a hard-headed child?

Ever tried to stretch a paycheck?

Ever tried to find a place to live?

Ever tried changing jobs?

Ever tried reconciling with a friend or extended family member?

Ever experienced a long season of illness?

Ever dated for years and still haven’t found someone?

The possibilities are endless.

What finally made a difference for these discouraged fishermen? 

J – E – S – U – S

He showed up, made a suggestion, they did it, and…

They couldn’t even haul in the catch!!! Amen and glory!!!

Think of an area of scarcity in your life where you would like excess and overflow.  Now, let’s invite Jesus to show up.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, I welcome You into this area of my life that has made many of my nights long for too long:___________.  Turn it around and bless me to the point where there will be so many fish in my net that I can’t haul it in alone!  In Jesus’ name, AMEN~
