Devotion:
Read John 21:1-7.
This is another appearance of Jesus to his disciples after his resurrection. The disciples were still trying to understand what they needed to be doing now. This was all uncharted territory. Jesus was alive! However, life was completely different. So Peter and 6 other disciples are hanging out together by the Sea of Galilee and Peter decides to go fishing. It is the one thing he knows how to do and can find comfort in. They fished all night with no success. The frustration must have been growing within them. It’s almost daylight, when that voice from the beach calls out to fish on the other side of the boat. Then Peter realizes it is Jesus, he can’t wait to get to shore to see his Lord again. Oh, that we would have that joy and desire to be with Jesus all the time! When life is confusing and frustrating and uncertain - run to Jesus. He welcomes you to come, rest, eat, and sit by the fire. Pour your heart out to him and He will give you peace.
Personal Worship Option:
Rest in Jesus today. Run to him and experience His embrace.
