“When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”’
- Luke 5:4 (NKJV)
Peter and his companions fished all night and caught nothing at the shallow edge. But when Jesus instructed them to launch into the deep, their nets overflowed. The location mattered because the deep is where God often displays His wonders.
The Psalmist talks about this in Psalm 107:24, ‘They see the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep.‘ The deep represents the extraordinary, the places beyond your control. It is where man ends, and God begins.
Beloved, some wonders will not manifest at the surface level. They require you to obey an instruction that pulls you into deeper waters of faith, prayer, and worship. The deep is often unknown and beyond you, yet it is the arena of God’s wonders. The deep of God surpasses the highest peaks of human effort.
The deep is where God often displays His wonders.
Are you willing to go deeper with Him? Going deeper may mean longer times in worship, intentional meditation on His Word, fasting, or consciously letting go of distractions. It is at such depths that the voice of God becomes clear, and His wonders are revealed.
Peter’s obedience to Christ’s word turned frustration into testimony. God has similar plans for you. So, listen to what He is saying to you. Launch into the deep of faith; trust beyond your reasoning. Launch into the deep of worship; go beyond routine songs to true surrender. Launch into the deep of obedience; do what He says even when it makes no sense. That is where the wonders await.
Your deep place may be an instruction to forgive someone, to sow a sacrificial seed, or to dedicate extended hours to prayer. It may be uncomfortable, but it is the location of transformation. When you reach the deep, you find God waiting with abundance.
Song
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders…
Song Where feet may fail by Hillsong Worship
Prayer – Lord, I choose to launch into the deep. Pull me away from shallow living and draw me into the depths of Your presence. Like Peter, as I obey Your instructions, let my nets overflow with testimonies. Reveal to me Your wonders in the deep,and let my life bear witness to Your greatness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
