Because You Say So

Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.” Luke 5:5 NIV

Because You say so. These four words show such an obedient and faithful heart in the making. The odds might be stacked against you and nothing may make sense, but if the Lord has called you to follow - you must.

Lord, I don’t want to move – but because You say so, I will go.

Lord, I can’t rejoice in my circumstances – but because You say so, I will sing.

Lord, I haven’t caught any fish – but because You say so, I’ll try one more time.

Lord, I’m frustrated today – but because You say so, I will continue on.

If you’re experiencing similar situations, remember – because He says so – He loves you, forgives you, leads you, and dwells within you.
