My friend today I want to talk about something the Lord ministered to me as from last night. What do you do when you in a place and it appears like all hope is lost. Will you hold on to hope in a hopeless situation or like disciples you will revert back to your old way of life. I’ve seen most people loose hope when things don’t turn out the way they expect.
We read here in the book of John how the disciples decided to go back fishing after loosing hope.
John 21:3-7
Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing! They said to him, And we are coming with you! So they went out and got into the boat, and throughout that night they caught nothing.
Morning was already breaking when Jesus came to the beach and stood there. However, the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
So Jesus said to them, Boys (children), you do not have any meat (fish), do you? [Have you caught anything to eat along with your bread?] They answered Him, No!
And He said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find [some]. So they cast the net, and now they were not able to haul it in for such a big catch (mass, quantity) of fish [was in it].
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord! Simon Peter, hearing him say that it was the Lord, put (girded) on his upper garment (his fisherman’s coat, his outer tunic)–for he was stripped [for work]–and sprang into the sea.
Fortunately for them the Lord had to come to reaffirm them that all hope is not lost. For us we have the Holy Spirit and its up to us to pay attention to Him for He is our advocate, our standby our reminder that everything is going to be okay. So inspite of all the things happening around us never loose hope because the Lord is always with you.
