And when He had ceased speaking,

he said to Simon,

"Put out into the deep

and let down you nets

               for a catch."

And Simon answered,

"Master, we toiled all night

          and took nothing!

But at Your word

I will let down the nets."

And when they had done this,

they enclosed 

           a great shoal of fish;

and as their nets were breaking,

they beckoned to their partners

in the other boat to come

                   and help them.

And they came

         and filled both boats,

so that they began to sink.

                         Luke 5. 4-7

(Our responding to God

     impacts everyone around us.

What impossible thing

         is God nudging you to do?

Even in what seems to

    make no sense at all.

Put out into the deep

    and let down your nets.

God always redeems 

         wholly following Him,

even in ways we may never see,

and sometimes in ways

               that break our nets.)
