Declare the impossible--possible.

“I am God your Lord Who lifted you out of Egypt.
​Widen your mouth and I will fill it.”
(Psalm 81:10).

  I know I have chosen a strange picture above for the scripture we read in Psalm 81:10.
However, it has double meaning. First, the disciples obeyed Jesus. They did what was impossible. Obedience to Jesus make the impossible--possible. Secondly, the disciples fished all night and caught nothing. But, Jesus asks them to do something in their weakness. Can you image being left-handed or right-handed and fishing your entire life a certain way. Then, long comes a guy and tells you to do everything the opposite the way you've always done things. Cast your net on the other side. If you are right handed then your left hand is much weaker. "Why do something in my weakness?" "Why do something foreign that I have never done before?" Because in our weakness Christ is strong. Jesus wants to show His strength on our behalf. Just obey me and watch what I can do with your life.
Perhaps, they'd been doing something wrong? He wanted to "Right" that. What is the "right" thing to do in your life? Right now? Is there something you've been doing one way that needs changed? Do you need to do the opposite of what you've been doing?

Whatever God is telling you to do? This is the year to do it! This is the year to trust God. Remember the story of the wine running out at the wedding? Jesus' mother said, "Whatever he tells you to do, do it." Well, that pretty well sums it up for us. If we want better than, what we've been having, we need to obey the word of the Lord. (The wine Jesus made from water was better than the wine, that had been served first. This was contrary to the custom of the day.)

Now, I know I wasn't on the scene when the water turned into wine. I wasn't there when they brought in 153 fish. However, in both cases the people involved in the miracle were obedient to do what Jesus told them. In this Hebrew year of 5780 (Pey) we need to make the decision that when the Lord says something, we choose to see it done and say what Jesus says. We must use our mouths as a vessel for the Lord. The Lord put that coin in the mouth of the fish to pay taxes! We are fishers of men! When we make a catch  for the Lord, the Lord makes it a win/win. Jesus told the disciple when you get the coin go pay your taxes and mine. He told his mother, "...it's not my time." But, He obeyed his mother and turned the water into wine. 

ACTION STEP: Look again at the scripture above. "Widen your mouth and I will fill it." In other words get in agreement with the Word of the Lord. The Word of God will always be a bigger word than we can ever back up, or bring to pass. But, God needs a mouth, a vessel, a boat, a heart, a life, a..... to fill! God needs a vessel to fill. A boat to fill with fish. A fish's mouth to fill with a coin. An empty wine pitcher to fill with new wine. So, OPEN YOUR MOUTH! What are you waiting for? This is the year (Pey) it rhymes with say and it means to say, so say what God has shown you. Say, what God has told you, and above all--do what He says.
