No fish? Hmm....

"Friends, haven't you any fish?" "No," they answered. He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. John 21:5-6

You might want to check out the entire story of the miraculous catch of fish in John 21:1-14. It's a great story. The guys out on the Sea of Galilee weren't catching a thing. Along comes a man (Jesus) standing on the shoreline telling them to try their nets on the other side of the boat. What do you know?....so many fish they were unable to haul the net in. While I am sure there is some great theological lesson here, I prefer the simpler interpretation; i.e. if we find ourselves spinning our proverbial wheels and getting nowhere, maybe we should stop, look to the shoreline, and listen for Jesus' simple instructions. Although we may try to complicate the matter, we simply cannot go wrong by listening to Jesus. Try it today....actually, not just listening, but being obedient to Him. Enjoy the increase!
