Astonished!

When Simon Peter realized what had happened, he fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “Oh, Lord, please leave me—I’m such a sinful man.” For he was awestruck by the number of fish they had caught, as were the others with him.
Luke 5:8–9, NLT
Astonished
Peter and his partners had fished all night and caught nothing, but the following morning he obeyed Jesus’ word to let down their nets again, and this time they caught so many fish that their nets began to break. These professional fisherman were astonished by what God did and soon left their nets to follow Jesus.

The Scripture says, “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” He is going to do some things that will overwhelm you with awe. He’s going to take you further than you’ve imagined. You’re going to overcome obstacles that seem permanent. What God is calling you to do will astonish you. The dream He’s placed in your heart may look impossible to accomplish, but something inside says, “Yes, this is for you.” That’s your destiny calling. This is not the time to let fear hold you back. Now is the time to stir up your faith. Don’t talk yourself out of it; talk yourself into it. Pray bold prayers. Dare to obey Jesus’ words and take steps of faith. Go out and perform awe-inspiring deeds.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are the God who spoke worlds into existence, and You know how to bring astonishing blessings to my net. Help me to start taking steps of faith that open the door to Your favor. I’m going to keep believing Your Word and casting my net. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...
