Distractions Volume 4!!!

We know that we are new creations in Christ when we choose to believe that He died for our sins, resurrected, and is seated on the right hand of His Father in Heaven. When this took place and we were sealed with the Holy Spirit, we started on a journey for the Lord and our lives would never be the same. Sadly, after a while most of us hit a season were we want to go back to our old lives. There are many reasons for this regression back to our old nature and lives, one because it is comfortable. Life can become very scary at times when we cannot see our tomorrow. Our faith covers this fear with an assurance of a sound mind, knowing that a loving Father would never put on us more than we could bare and who would never leave us nor forsake us. Second, we have learned to operate in that world all of our lives, up until the point of our salvation. We trust in our own abilities in that world, yet God calls for us to Trust in Him and in Him alone. Third but not last by any means, we tend to get anxious when we are not sure what we are to be doing in a season. We have to be dependent on God’s timing even when it’s His will for us to do a certain task. God is continually building on dependence on Him and Him alone, this requires us to be still and wait on the Lord which is totally contrary to our flesh. Today, have we settled back into a life that distracts us from pressing forward in our Father’s will, or are we keeping our eyes focus and waiting patiently for the Father to tell us to move??? Rest in Him and He will finish the work He started in you to the coming of our Lord!!! Be Encouraged!!! Have a wonderful life of being a vessel of God on purpose!!!!!

John 21

Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish
1 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee.[a] It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus[b]), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3 “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
5 He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”
“No,” they answered.
6 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.[c] 9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
