Surrendering My Boat

[S]  Luke 5:3,6 --

And He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little way from the land. And He sat down and began teaching the people from the boat.
When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break;


[O] The boat was Simon's valuable tool he uses in his workplace to catch fish but Jesus got in there to use it for teaching the people.  Not what it is mainly created for but whatever we use to make our living, Jesus can use it as a platform to teach His Ways He demonstrated here.  In verse 6, we can also see that when Jesus uses our tools (or workplaces) to teach His Ways, He will also bless it to multiply over and beyond our expectations revealing His power to my neighbors and co-workers also.

[A] I need to surrender my workplace and my tools of trade to Jesus so that He would channel His teachings through it.  I should also see His multiplication at my workplace as He uses it to spread His teachings.  If I lack these things I need to bring it to Him and ask for His clear guidance whether I need to change my place or to stay one.

[P] Dear Jesus, while I don't want to trivialize finding Your guidance for my life to a few signs but I do want to walk closely to You and look for ways Your ministry is expanded through my workplace.  So please speak to my heart directly and clearly as I surrender my "boat" to You. In Your name.  Amen
