Today’s Reading: Luke 5:1-11

5th Sunday

“When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.'” (Luke 5:4)

Following Jesus often means moving beyond our comfort zones and trusting His direction, even when it doesn’t make sense to us.

Is there an area of your life where God might be calling you to “put out into deeper water”? Take a moment to pray about this.

Day 29

“If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23)

Discipleship isn’t a one-time decision but a daily commitment to follow Jesus, even through difficulties.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:29-31)

Jesus reminds us that God’s care extends to even the smallest creatures, showing just how deeply and personally we are loved by our Creator.
