This morning I have spent time in the gospels of John and Luke, and Matthew Henry’s commentaries and just lost track of time. I could write so much more on the scriptures surrounding these passages. God can use you where you find yourself today. You are where He wants you for today. It all can bring glory and honor to Him in how you handle the every day. Spend daily time with Him, and you will overflow what He presses into you as a result.
Even at work
John 21:6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
In Luke chapter 5, Christ had called His first disciples while they were at work. He had approached them at their business, and used their vocation to deliver a sermon from the pulpit in the boat to the crowd of people on the shore. Their is also a great prophecy being fulfilled regarding Abraham and the sand on the seashore in the study of these scriptures. After His sermon in Luke 4 he says, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” We have heard how the disciples were called “fishers of men.” Christ called them while they were at work, and used their work for the glory of God. Are you aware, and prepared to glorify God in your vocation? Are you glorifying God now in your workplace?
After His death and resurrection, He began to appear to the disciples. In John 21 Peter had probably sulked and decided “well at least I can return to what I know how to do” and went fishing to earn a living, and get his mind off what had transpired. They had no luck, and were headed back to shore when in John 21:6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.” Christ had returned to them at work, where He found them to begin with. Christ can use where you spend your every day to glorify Himself. It does not have to be from the pulpit to honor Him, it can be how you handle every day with the integrity He instills in you. Do not miss the opportunity he places before you in the workplace today, for much of the workplace is far from God, abusing every ideal for the benefit of only themselves, or the bottom line. Let it be known that you serve the highest line, held to the highest standard to glorify Christ.
