Just settled in and we are taxiing along in readiness for takeoff.
Suddenly, I ask the purpose of the trip,
and find that I am heading to Jordan and Egypt for a parachute jump!
What made me get on this plane without checking, I cannot leave.
Then, waking, I am relieved to find the airplane left without me.
“Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.”
Gospel of Matthew
Simon follows the instructions to put out into deep water. He makes the point that he has already failed to catch fish earlier in the day, but follows Jesus’s instructions anyway.
How many times do we question the call of God to “put out into deep water”. ?
Jesus tells us “Do not be afraid”, for he is with us at all times.
Our faith must guide us and become stronger if we are to do his work. He wants us to be catching men not just the fish in this miracle.
