“Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” Luke 5:5

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Believe you can and you’re half way there.” Einstein said, “Failure is success in progress.” Nelson Mandela said, “It always seems impossible until it’s done”. Life is seemingly filled with failure. And yet, in Luke 5, Jesus tells his disciples to

Try Again.

Simon’s response to Jesus was much like ours seems to be most of the time. “I tried that and failed.” And yet, Simon was also wise enough to take Jesus’ advice and try again anyway. What followed was a catch large enough to swamp their boat! Are you willing to look past yesterday’s failures and try again? Failure is only final if you give in to the negative thoughts flooding your mind that it will always be for you as it has been in the past. Jesus is saying to you today, “let down your nets for a catch!”
