Jesus was teaching the multitudes from a boat on the Sea of Galilee. He turned to His disciple Simon and said, ‘Launch out into the deep, and let your nets out for a catch.’
 
So they did. They caught so many fish that their nets began to break.
 
To launch out into the deep. What does it mean?  It means that the fish weren’t in the shallow waters.  It means that your blessings aren’t in the shallow waters either.
 
The blessings of God aren’t found in the shallow waters. You won’t find them swimming in the shallow waters of faith. 
 
There are many who call themselves by Messiah’s name, but most dwell only in the shallow waters. They stay by the shore, by that which is familiar and comfortable. They never fully leave the old ways, the old life. So they only know the shallow waters of God. Others who are called by His Name never fully launch out. They never enter the deep. They believe, but with a shallow faith. They read the Scriptures, but only see the surface, the shallow of the Word. They pray, but only in the shallow of prayer. They never enter the deep of it. And they know of God’s love, but they never enter the deep of His love. And so they never know the deep of His blessings.
 
But if you want the blessings of God, you must leave the shallow and launch out away from the shore, away from its distractions, away from the old and the familiar, and into the deep . . . into the deep waters of faith, the deep waters of His presence, the deep of His Word, the deep of worship, the deep of His joy, the deep of His Spirit, and the deep of His heart.
 
That’s where your blessings are waiting to be found with Miracles so big that your net will break . . . But only when you venture into the deep.
 
Launch out into the deep waters of God today. And there let down your net that it might break with His blessings.
