6-18-2015 Luke 5:1-11
S. 1And it came to pass, that, as the people
pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2And
saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them,
and were washing their nets.3And he entered into one of the ships, which was
Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he
sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.4Now when he had left speaking,
he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a
draught.5And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the
night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the
net.6And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes:
and their net brake.7And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the
other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both
the ships, so that they began to sink.8When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at
Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.9For he was
astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they
had taken: 10And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were
partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou
shalt catch men.11And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook
all, and followed him.
O. After preaching from a small fishing boat,
to avoid the press of the crowd, Jesus instructs Peter in the catching of an
amazingly large number of fish.
A. Obeying the commands of the Lord will
bring about wonderful blessings. I am committed to being faithful to the Lord.
P. Father; Thank you for leading me into
this wonderful relationship. Accept my praise and adoration. I am glad to be
your son and serve your loving will for my life. Use me as you see fit. Amen.
