On Saturday morning, 7/18/09, the women gathered for breakfast and a feast from the Word of God.
Sister Helen's text was John 21:1-14. It's the story of the disciples going back to their fishing after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. They're doing all the things they know to do as fisherman. They're out at the right time of day. Their nets are ready, but they're not catching any fish.
Meanwhile, Jesus is on the shore. He instructs them to cast their net on the other side of the boat. When their nets are filled, Peter declares, "It is the Lord." He pulls on his garment and swims toward the shore. The others head back in the boat.
When you're going through hard times, it seems like an eternity. You wonder when this is going to end. We expect Jesus to come into our situation the same way He did before. He comes with questions. What have you learned through this situation? Then He has instructions. If what you're doing isn't working, do something new.
In what areas can we do something new?
Bible reading - instead of reading one chapter, read two.
Prayer
Praise - the level of my praise determines the level of my victory.
Do something new in your giving.
Plant in famine - giving of myself by writing a note, handing a single mom
$20.00, inviting a single person or widow to dinner.
When we press our way into the Master, we'll find He's been there all along with provision for our every need.
