Have
you ever been hopelessly unproductive
and unsuccessful at something? How frustrated did you get when all of your
resources failed? Some of you have gotten extremely frustrated playing the
dating game, or maybe not playing the dating game. For others of you,
attempting to have children has proven stressful. For others, having children
has proven challenging. Some of you
have had to stand up for your convictions and it has cost you a career or a
job. In today’s gospel, Simon is frustrated, tired, and weary. A night of
fishing has proven very unfruitful. He’s caught absolutely nothing. In the
morning, Jesus finds Peter washing his nets. He tells him to launch the boat
and let down the nets. Oh great… a rabbi telling a professional fisherman how
to fish! Peter initially objects, but finally concedes. When God pursues the
frustrated, He convinces us of His power. He is able to do in seconds what
Peter was not able to accomplish all night. The miraculous catch of fish
produces in Peter a contrite spirit as he marvels at the power of Jesus. The
catch is so amazing that the nets are breaking and the boats are sinking. And
it was caught at the powerful and authoritative word of Jesus. How does Peter
respond to the miraculous catch of fish? Peter sinks to
|
his
knees in awe before this mysterious figure: “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a
sinful man.” The Lord convicts us of our sin and unworthiness. Yet, Jesus
would not depart from Peter. Instead, He asks Peter to catch men, women and
boys and girls for Him. He commissions us to serve Him and participate fully
in His ministry. Peter and James and John respond with hearts overflowing with
the value of knowing Jesus: they “forsook all and followed Him” [Lk 5:11]. Jesus causes us to
value Him above all else. Ask the Lord to show you what it is that you value
more than Him. Is He more valuable to you than your money? Your spouse? Your
children? Your career? Prestige? Pleasure? For sure, there is something that
we must bring and lay down at the feet of Jesus. The Lord doesn’t always
bring our frustration to an end after one year, but if you have something in
your life that you wish weren’t there that has caused you a measure of
frustration, I can guarantee you this: The Lord is pursuing you in order to
show you four things: How great is his power, how great is your need of His
pardon, how essential it is to adopt His purpose, and how vital it is to
value him above all else. https://2cherish2commend.com/
