Luke 5: 3-5

Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat. when Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”

“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked through the night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”

***

It’s that time of year: you might be burnt out or tired or, simply, plateaued. Thanksgiving is a small upturn in the events of the year, then it’s back to school for most of us to continue the grind. Everything had died; there’s no more lovely fall colors to carry you through. You might feel empty, you might feel downtrodden, you might feel just tired.

To those who are tired,

Cast your net again.

To those who are overworked,

Cast your net again.

To those who are weary,

Cast your net again.

***

Luke 5: 6-7

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
