UNFAILING DIRECTION

FAITH CAPSULE: Unfailing direction is for deliverance, not to fail.

Luke 5:1-11

There is no excuse not to give yourself to the word of God for His unfailing direction.
Tune to Him in your toiling, and He will turn to you.
Peter and his fellow professional fishermen toiled all night with nothing to show for their toiling. 
All-night toiling can be very exhausting when there is nothing to show for the toiling. 
Toiling is hard and continuous work, exhausting labor or effort. 
Peter and his fellow fishermen must have experienced an all-night hard and continuous work with nothing to show when Jesus came in their direction. 
The fishermen were empty-handed as they cleaned up on that morning. In the process of cleaning, the living Word of God sounded in their direction and said, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” (Luke 5:4) 
Despite the pain and exhaustion of having toiled all night with nothing to show for all night, the fishermen responded to Jesus “But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless, at Your word, I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.” (Luke 5:5-6) 
The fishermen experienced a turnaround because they did not disregard the word of the Master. 
The living word of God that sounded in the direction of the fishermen turned around their destiny and led them to the center of their divine assignment. 
Despite a lack of productivity in their toiling all night, they did not disregard the command of Jesus. 
Is your situation dictating how you respond to words that sound in your direction? 
The fishermen listened and did as commanded. 
Toiling is to move or travel with difficulty, weariness, or pain.
In the life journey, unproductive with an ending pain of nothing to show for is possible.
What is it that is engaging the center stage of your life journey? 
Does it look like you are stagnated or moving is like going in a circle? 
As an acclaimed believer, does your situation sound like one experiencing pain from stagnation? 
Know and do not shut down every accessible route that opens to the living word of God. 
Allow the word to gain entrance and deny discouragement from having a place in your journey. Discouragement should not be allowed in times of toiling, but giving regard to the word of God. 
The fishermen could not disregard the word of God. 
Psalm 32:8 admonishes, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” 
What is the Lord saying to you in a journey that seems moving, in a circle, with no sign of the expected end? 
Tune to Him in your toiling, and He will not ignore you. 

Prayer for today: Ask to encounter a word with the direction of not to fail but to experience a breakthrough.
