"When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, "Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man." For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him, and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men." When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"—he said to the man who was paralyzed, "I say to you, rise, pick up your stretcher, and go home." Luke 5:8-11, 24

Advent Day 5 - New Life. Simon-Peter is challenged by Jesus to put his nets out in deeper water, even though he was tired and felt it pointless, he heard the Masters voice. The men carrying the paralytic could not go thru the front door, they found a way to get their friend in and their sins were forgiven. Fear, our past, sin, holds us back from putting out in deeper water but just as Jesus told Simon "Do not be afraid", Simon heard the call, he was not alone, Jesus was with him. The new life that Jesus promises us is never done alone, He is with you. "Greater is He that in me, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b"
What is God saying to me: Ride the wind, it can not be seen but I Am there.
Dear Father, You do put us out there in deeper waters, sometimes it is a little scary but there is reassurance that You are there. Allow Your voice to be heard today, may the words "Do not be afraid" ring true in many hearts. There is a lot that needs done and the workers are few but not to worry You are God - all things are possible. Prayers for a sweet couple dealing with medical challenges, may they recognize Your presence and be blessed with peace. Thank You Father for another picture perfect morning. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
This Saturday, December 7th, men's conference at Schulenburg St Rose - KC Hall 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. Hear the Masters call in the life's of others, bring a friend.
