But at your word

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

1 Corinthians 3:18-23 Psalm 24:1-6 Luke 5:1-11

Luke 5:5  And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets."

We often think that if we can't do it than it can't be done. But God is able to do all things.  Our responsibility is to obey his commands.  If we do what he tells us then we may be in a place where we can see the work of God.

If we don't do what he says we will not be in the place where he is going to do the work and we will miss it.

Our efforts are only as good as we are and we are not God.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always seek to obey your command.  Help me to realize that my efforts may fail but you will never fail.

Amen
