Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 3rd July 2025 TOPIC: He Controls the Fish
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”
Luke 5:5, NKJV
TODAY’S WORD
As Jesus was preaching along the Sea of Galilee, so many people pressed in on Him that He got into Peter’s boat and pushed out from shore in order to keep speaking. When He was finished, He told Peter to launch into the deep and he would catch a great haul of fish. Peter had fished all night and caught nothing. He was a professional fisherman and knew when and where to fish. Peter could have thought, “Who is this man to tell me how to fish?” But he responded, “Jesus, this doesn’t make sense.
Nevertheless, because You say so, I’m going to do it.” He went out and caught so many fish that his nets began to break, and when his partners in another boat came to help, both boats were so loaded down that they almost sank. God controls the fish. He knows where your provision is, and He knows how to get it to you. It may not make sense or seem logical. But God loves to do things out of the ordinary, so you’ll know it was His hand.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that there is promotion, healing, restoration, and abundance when I walk in humility and obey Your word to me. Thank You that You control the fish. Help me to humble myself and do the thing You’re asking me to do when I don’t understand. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
