Easter Hearts, Week 4, Day 4

Easter Hearts, Week 4, Day 4

JOHN 21:6-8

When we follow Jesus’ leading, at work or in ministry, the results will be great! The fishing advice led to a catch so full, the net could not be brought into the boat! It had to be dragged to shore. Jesus is Lord of created matter and tangible supply, not just hearts and souls.

 

The beloved disciple, generally thought to be John, the author of this gospel, recognizes Jesus, and Peter leaps into the water to swim ashore. God loves our enthusiasm! He embraces every spontaneous desire we have to connect with him and see him work. The spiritual life has routines and disciplines but also unplanned prayers and encounters.

 

Do you trust Jesus to lead you in the 9-5?

 

Are you spontaneous in your spiritual life?

 

FAMILY TIME—

Thank God and celebrate his presence in the middle of your day in the same way. Then tell your family about it.

He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.
