Toiling?< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Luke 5:1-11

All year long, weekly and monthly, you have been toiling and nothing has changed. You have reduced your time for fellowshipping to make ends meet but nothing is different. You have run where you were suppose to, walked when you should have, but there is no breaking news. It does not take power and determination to break through or get enough of what you are toiling for. One day, Simon, a professional fisherman, toiled all night and nothing seemed to be working for him. Simon needed a divine intervention. Jesus was around at the time of his toiling. Luke 5:4 ÒWhen He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, ÔLaunch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.ÕÓ Simon heard from where he needed to hear, despite the fact that nothing was working for him in his profession, he did not dispute or disregard direction from the Master. Luke 5:5, ÒBut Simon answered and said to Him, ÔMaster, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.Ó Yes!  Just a word will terminate your entire struggle. Just at His word, the all-night-toiling of Simon rose up with uncontrollable abundance; it became history because he did not let the lack dictate doubts to him. Your all-year-months-and-weeks of toiling will turn into abundance if you seek Him first. Matthew 6:33, ÒBut seek first the < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.Ó  Let worrying be worn out, let toiling be toppled, seek Him and you will see what He can do to establish you for His glory.
