Have you ever felt like you were just going through the motions, striking out over and over, and wondering if the Lord even noticed? What if the most unexpected, ordinary moment was exactly where Jesus was waiting to show up?
In this message from John chapter 21, we find the disciples back on the water, back to fishing, back to what they knew before Jesus turned their world upside down. They fish all night and catch nothing. And then a stranger on the shore says, try the other side. One cast. 153 fish. More than they could handle.
But the miracle was not just about the fish. It was about a God who shows up in the mundane, who meets you in the middle of the strikeout, and who is better than the best catch you could ever pull in. Peter knew it the moment John said, it is the Lord. He did not wait for the boat. He jumped in.
Jesus had breakfast ready on the shore. A charcoal fire. Bread and fish. And He just said, come and eat.
He is better than the promotion, better than the win, better than getting everything right. Keep throwing the net. Keep showing up. He is already on the shore waiting for you.
