DAILY?READINGS: Judges 21; Isaiah 40; 1 Corinthians 16
Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing nevertheless at Thy word I will let down the net. Luke 5:5
Peter was told to do something. However past experience and his own rational assessment told him that the end result would be failure. There would be no fish in the net. “Nevertheless,” going against the grain of his thinking, he was obedient and cast out the net. The result was miraculous. Perhaps today you may be in such circumstances as Peter. And you may be challenged by the Lord (against your rational thinking) to do something or go somewhere that may not make any sense to you. Will you nevertheless obey and trust? —K. C. Ung
Yet, Lord, Thy will be done; Lo, I, Thine only Son, This cup will drink.
O wondrous love of Thine, unspeakable, divine;
To save this soul of mine Thou wilt not shrink. —H. Allon
