Try Again
Sean Pinder
Have you been doing everything you are supposed to do and getting no results ? Are you praying , fasting , and putting action to your faith and still experiencing disappointment , frustration , and failure ? Jesus ’ s disciples were in such a situation in Luke 5 . They had fished all night and caught nothing . But the Lord took notice of their trouble , and He is taking notice of you too .
God ’ s Word Never Returns Void
One day , as Jesus was preaching by the lake of Gennesaret , a great crowd surrounded Him and pressed on Him to hear the Word . These people did not care that Jesus was not in a fancy synagogue like the Pharisees . They were hungry for the power of God , so they gathered by the lake to hear Him .
“ And ( Jesus ) saw two ships standing by the lake : but the fishermen were gone out of them , and were washing their nets ” ( Luke 5:2 , KJV ). These fishermen had fished all night and caught nothing , but Jesus took notice of them . No doubt , these men were discouraged , but they were getting their nets ready to try again .
