Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
I love fishing but sadly, I haven’t been able to do it in quite some time. Yeah, I know, one would think there’d be some good fishing spots here in Israel. However from what I understand, they’re not really available to the public. So sad. Nevertheless, fishing gives me a chance to get a break from the world and just relax and meditate – and on a good day, maybe catch a fish or two.
I recently saw a fishing-related cartoon that really moved me. Pictured, were two Eskimos fishing through holes in the ice. One of them had his line in a hole the size you’d expect to see. But the guy sitting next to him had his line in an enormous hole, in the shape of a whale!
This guy was hungry! He didn’t want some dinky little fish! He was fishing for whales! In the same way, if we want to do greater things for the Lord, we must have a greater hunger and a greater vision!!
Are you hungry for the bigger and better things of the Lord today? Let’s enlarge our vision for Him! Let’s pull out the big bait! Let’s expect even bigger catches! Let’s allow the Lord to get us ready! The harvest is plentiful — there’s so much work to be done!
