Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, “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 21:4-6

God provides everything we NEED. As we PRAY and learn to totally TRUST, He nurtures HOPE as we respond and listen to the voice of truth. Jesus performed miracles after His resurrection to demonstrate He was back from the dead and give God the glory! The disciples learned valuable lessons from the One who was born to die and save us from our sin. 

Sometimes, we become stuck in the worry of wonder and need to remember God is the One who handles our days. He loves us in beautiful ways and invites us to come as we are to experience the depth of His LOVE. He takes care of us and those we LOVE and helps us find PEACE in His presence. 

Fear will cause us to wonder HOW God will orchestrate our lives. But Jesus will take our burdens, show us where to step and guide us with the goodness of God. He will help us welcome gratitude as we remember HE's ALIVE and choose to step in FAITH. HE will ready us to receive timely rewards. 

Sometimes, we look for larger than life miracles and forget God often uses subtle ways to remind us of His authority. He helps us surrender doubt to the One who helps us find comfort and rest. We TRUST Him to carry the weight of our shortcomings and be readied to follow Him with belief of His holiness. 

Let’s praise the One who fed 5000 people and we’re nourished by more than fish! God will nurture our souls in beautiful ways as we open our eyes and welcome a relationship with Him. We must never underestimate how He will choose to bless us. The joy of the Lord is our strength! Hallelujah for what Jesus has done for each one of us. He has risen indeed! 

Have a good week ahead, friends. How will you choose to welcome Jesus and believe in the timing of God’s plan? May His will be fulfilled by the Savior who died and rose again! Glory to God in the highest! Let's welcome our risen King with gladness and offer Him the LOVE of our hearts.   

Dear God, thank you for providing for our days. You know our every need and respond in Your time and for Your great purpose. We will trust in You and follow Christ. As we feel the nudging of our hearts, lift us to a higher place as we respond and faithfully obey. We will gratefully praise the love of Your faithfulness and never forget why You are the Provider of everything we need. Thank you for what Jesus has done for each one of us to help us draw closer to YOU.  Amen
