[Discoveries] 08-26-08 He has the answer -- John 21:3

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*... but that night they caught nothing. -- John 21:3*/

Sometimes you come up empty. We all do. In my office, I keep a framed 
copy of a Calvin & Hobbes comic strip. Calvin says to Hobbes, "I thought 
I had a great idea, but it never really took off. ... In fact, it didn't 
even get on the runway. ... I guess you could say it exploded in the 
hangar."

I can relate.

Peter thought it would be a good idea to go out fishing, but an all 
night effort yielded nothing. His best effort was barren.

I don't think Peter expected to see Jesus on the shore. In fact, I'm 
sure he didn't. But this is when the Lord shows up. When we're ready to 
give up, to admit defeat, He has the answer.

Throw your net on the right side of the boat. It was so simple. It was 
there all along. But we will never see it, until the Lord comes along 
and fills our nets to overflowing.

He will show you the way.

Be encouraged!
Dwight

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
