Episode 210: Luke 5

Today's meditation is on Luke Chapter 5

When I operate in my own knowledge and my own power, I often come up short. I can work hard all night, and not manage to accomplish a thing. But, when I listen to God and follow his instructions, I receive a miraculous overflow... more than I can even contain. So, if Jesus instructs me to let down my nets, I will let them down!

Jesus has called me to follow him. With him, there is nothing to fear. He has made me a fisher of men and women, spreading the Good News of the Gospel and bringing them into the Kingdom. I will follow him wherever he leads me. 

I know from Jesus' life here on the earth, that the Father's will is health. Jesus did only what he saw the Father do and said only what he heard the Father say. He never turned anyone away who came to be healed. He healed them all.

He demonstrated compassion and humility. Over and over again, he asked people not to tell anyone what had happened. But they were unable to keep silent! He quietly went about doing the Father's will, and not wanting any attention for himself. This is the example I am to follow. To do the Father's will, and expect nothing in return.

As often as possible, Jesus also withdrew to out-of-the-way places for prayer. From his example, I know how important it is to get away and commune with Father God. If it was important for Jesus, how much more necessary is it for me to spend as much time as possible alone with the Father?

God is impressed with bold belief. Over and over, when Jesus healed the sick, he said they were healed because of their faith. So I build up my faith by hearing the Word, studying the Word, spending time in prayer and meditation, and praying in the Holy Spirit.

Jesus came to save the lost. He invited me to a changed life -- both inside and out. So I celebrate this new life. God's Kingdom realm has come. In Christ, I have been made whole, cleansed by his blood, born again as a new creature, and filled with the Holy Spirit.  

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
