for the LORD has anointed me to bring good

news to the poor.  He has sent me to comfort the

of the LORD'S favor has come, and with it, the 

day of God's anger against their enemies."

FISHING WITH JESUS

I do not know what night of the week Simon
Peter and his fellow fishermen were fishing;
BUT IT WAS A MONDAY.

You know what I mean.   Some days are a Monday
even if it is another day in the week.  Nothing goes
right, and we say "It was a Monday."

Simon Peter and his buddies worked hard all
night, but did not catch a thing.  You have had
days that way.  But the story does not end there.

"When he had finished speaking, he said to 

Simon, 'Now go out where it is deeper, and let

down your nets to catch some fish.'

"Master," Simon replied, 'we worked hard 

all last night and didn't catch a thing.  But if you

say so, I'll let the nets down again.' And this

time their nets were so full of fish they began to

tear!  A shout for help brought their partners in

the other boat, and soon both boats were filled 

with fish and on the verge of sinking." 

(Luke 5:4 - 7 NLT). 

Now that is how fishing with Jesus goes.

One of the things I have learned from this
incident is that I need the blessing and help
of Jesus Christ on anything that I do.

I have learned that IF I start the day off
seeking God's help and blessing - things
go better.  If I start my day off by just jumping
in and going at it - I will have a Monday.
But generally when I start my day off with
Jesus Christ I usually accomplish even more
than I had set out to do.

"Commit your actions to the LORD,
and your plans will succeed."

"Those who live in the shelter of

the Most Hight will find rest in the

shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the LORD:

He alone is my God, and I trust him."  

(Psalms 91: 1,2 NLT). 

TODAY'S PROMISE

"We tell you this directly from the Lord:  We

who are still living when the Lord returns will not

meet him ahead of those who have died.  For

the Lord himself will come down from heaven

with a commanding shout, with the voice of the

archangel, and with the trumpet call of God.

First, the Christians who have died will rise from

their graves.  Then, together with them, we who

are still alive and remain on the earth will be

caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the

air.  Then we will be with the Lord forever.  So

encourage each other with these words."

(1 Thessalonians 4:15 - 18 NLT)

And the prize is not just for me but for all who

TODAY'S QUOTE

"if the Lord is going to use someone for His

purposes.  He often has to strip away their

dependence on intelligence, education, abilities

and their strengths before He can truly use them.

He has to make them nothing before He can build

them back up again for His service."
