Jhn 21:1-2 “After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he [himself]. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.” There, Simon Peter said to the gang, “I go a fishing” and the rest of the disciples followed. In the last chapter of the Gospel of John, Jesus asks this small group of disciples to go to the familiar fishing hole of the Sea of Galilee. Whether it was wrong for them to actually go fishing or not, we don’t know. The Lord does not rebuke them for it. But they were getting restless and they had lousy results. Jhn 21:3 “Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.” We certainly do know that they were now restless and frustrated. They were professionals. They knew how to fish. But that night of failure was in the plan and purpose of God for them. The rest of the story continues in a chain of events that we can identify with. As we become restless and frustrated, we hear the Lord calling out to us. He may ask us a question. He knows that answer, but wondering if we know the answer, even if it is obvious. Jhn 21:5 “Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.” His voice may then redirect us. Jhn 21:6 “And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.” Then we might also respond in worship and running to Him like Peter, as we see Jesus’ hand at work in our lives through our frustration. Jhn 21:7 “Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt [his] fisher’s coat [unto him], (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.” Peter and the gang see again the working hand of Jesus in their lives. My frustration, I’ll give Him; His directing, I’ll take it; the adjustments, I’ll make them; the fruit, I’ll take it. We thank you Lord for your working hand in our lives!
