Launch out into the deep!

Luke 5:4 "...Put out into the deep water..."

How many times have we heard this and thought I am trying, Lord.  I want to go deep with the holy Spirit.  How deep we goes depends are willingness to leave the comfort of dry land...dry land?  oh ho, that brings up images...dry dusty, desert!  Why for us, as for the Israelites is it so hard to leave it behind?

Launch out into the deep.  Go deeper with the Lord! Deep pools of water over your head, completely immerse in what the Lord has for us!  What better place to be!  Then, why is it so challenging to achieve.  For each of the answer to that will be different.  Search your heart.

As we search our hearts, go after that deep water with the Holy Spirt, we will find new depths to that deep water.  There we will find new meaning to water that means and looks like for our lives.  What we saw in the past experience with the Holy Spirit as deep water, will now appear to our ankles or knees.  Go deeper!  Ask the Lord for new depths!  Come on you can do it!  Go deep!

As we go deeper with the Lord we will find new richness in our prayer life and worship.  We will soak in His presence in a new way, not needing words, or anything, but to glory in the presence of our God!  We will find new purpose or clearer purpose.  We will seek not our will, but His, because it will become clearer to us what that looks like.

Launch out into the deep!  Go for it!
