Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample
Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men (Luke 5:10).
How has the Lord’s intervention in your life changed you?
Peter and associates have fished all night and caught nothing. After Jesus teaches, He tells the tired fisherman, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch” (Luke 5:4). The hesitant apostle takes Jesus at His Word and has a huge catch of fish (Luke 5:6). Jesus assures the broken fisherman, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men” (Luke 5:10). The expression “from now on” is a favorite of Luke, which shows that God’s intervention in one’s life changes things forever. Luke first uses this expression in Luke 1:48. Mary says, “henceforth [from now on] all generations will call me blessed.” She, like Peter, responds to the Lord’s work by faith (Luke 1:38), and that is why they are forever different.
Employment Point: Respond by faith to the Lord’s intervention to be forever changed.
