Look beyond the blessing!| - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

Psalm 3:8 Salvation belongeth unto Yahweh: thy blessing is upon thy people.

Yah'shua (Jesus) told His disciples to go into the deep waters and let down their nets for fish. When they did, their nets were filled up with fish to the point of breaking. Being fishermen and businessmen, they may have been tempted to start doing business. I mean, think how much they could make!

But Yahweh had a different purpose. The disciples' occupation as fishermen was just a vehicle for Yahweh to demonstrate His great power and love. He wasn't blessing them with fish so that they would get excited about fishing -- He was blessing them with fish so that they could get their eyes off their fishing and on to the greater call He had for them! Thankfully, they left the fishing business and went off with Yah'shua to do great and mighty things.

Let's make sure we're not getting up wrapped up in fish! We seek Yah'shua for His blessings, prosperity, and success. But true discipleship is focusing not on the blessings of the Master, but on the Master of the blessings!

We can rejoice in our blessings, but let's not dwell on them! Let's set our eyes on Yah'shua and the calling He has for us. When He sees that we have pure and willing hearts, He will be faithful to use us to accomplish His glorious plan!
