TOPIC: WHEN DROUGHT BECOMES “DRAUGHT”
- TEXT: LUKE 5:1-11
Key Verse:
“Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught” – Luke 5:4
Charles H. Spurgeon told the story of his first student who walked up to him and complained that he had been preaching for several months without recording a single conversion. “And do you expect,” said Mr Spurgeon, “that the Lord is going to bless you and save souls every time you open your mouth?” “No, sir,” he replied. “Well, then,” said Mr Spurgeon, “that is why you do not get souls saved.

If you had believed, the Lord would have given the blessing.” Peter believed Christ when He instructed him to launch out into the deep and let down the nets for a catch. The result of his faith and obedience was “great multitude of fishes”. They had toiled all night – with all their professional skill – but caught nothing. This was at the Sea of Galilee (here called the Lake of Gennesaret).
A vast multitude of people had gathered to listen to Christ by the seaside because there was no public facility that could accommodate such crowd. Peter volunteered his fishing boat in which Christ stood to minister to the people and in return got this miracle of draught of fishes. Like Peter, we can go from drought (lack) to a draught of desired blessings. But we must first be willing to lay our all on the altar of sacrifice for the Lord

If Peter begrudged Christ the use of his boat, he would have missed the great catch. Also, we labour in vain when we rely only on our own wisdom, experience, strength and talent (especially in ministry). We must learn to act at God’s word and the Spirit’s prompting – even when it seems unreasonable in the circumstance. In addition, disappointments and failures should not deter us from taking steps when God prompts us.
No matter how discouraged you have been to have toiled in vain, resolve, like Peter: “…nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.”
Thought For Today: Faith in God’s faithfulness forestalls failures and frustration.
Bible in one Year: EXODUS 39-40
