The Journey

Psalm 119:105 (ESV)
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

Hebrews 4:12–13 (ESV)
"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account."

John 21:1–14 (ESV)
*"After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
Simon Peter said to them, 'I am going fishing.'
They said to him, 'We will go with you.'
They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
Jesus said to them, 'Children, do you have any fish?'
They answered him, 'No.'
He said to them, 'Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.'
So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.
That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, 'It is the Lord!'
When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea.
The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.

When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread.
Jesus said to them, 'Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.'
So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them.
And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
Jesus said to them, 'Come and have breakfast.'
Now none of the disciples dared ask him, 'Who are you?'
They knew it was the Lord.
Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish.
This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead."*

•  A revelation of Christ always causes a change in life.

So how do we prepare ourselves to learn the lessons life is teaching us?

1. Know your position.

2. Pursue His presence.

3. Look for His provision and partnership.

God is our supply.

He loves us enough not only to provide — but to partner with us.
