We hear passages like in Romans 11.33-35 and Isaiah 40.28 where God’s telling us there is no searching out his understanding, that no one has known the mind of the Lord - and so often we pull back…thinking “ahh, I see..that’s a forbidden (or impossible) realm.” In reality it’s like Father is revealing this practically unexplored and totally inexhaustible frontier in which every good and perfect thing is to be found. It’s really a challenge to jump in and lose your life over, just like you read in Jeremiah 30.21 “and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? says the LORD.”

Luke 5: One day as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in on him to listen to the word of God. He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the water. So he sat in the boat and taught the crowds from 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.”

The phrase “Go out where it is deeper” grabbed my attention and God was saying to go deeper in Faith, in my relationship with Him, deeper in communion, and whatever else it means to go deeper with God. Then I immediately thought of this post and realized there was a connection here, so I thought I would share it. And now as I’m typing this, I see a correlation to the one who listens to Jesus’ Words and puts them into practice like a man who builds on a solid foundation = the man who obeys when Jesus says to put out into deeper water (opposed to those who stay put on the shore and just listen). And I post this with a prayer to obey; knowing my own need for more of Him.

Man oh man….thirst awakens thirst. Nuts, just nuts. How high are His ways?

beef, right on man.

Oh so thankful.
