He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. John 21-6

This is a beautiful bible verse which conveys the futility of hard work, when the intent is not in alignment with God's plan for us. It also speaks about complete surrender to God. After a day's hard work, they did not get anything. They must be really tired and disappointed. They all might have called it a day, and started relaxing. In that state, God in the form of man, ask them to again cast their net at a specific spot. The natural human reaction to this would have been resentment. But, they blindly listened to Jesus's words, which was rewarded by a good catch, exceeding all their expectations. This talks about a life of complete surrender to God's plan for us. He has a plan of prosperity for all of us. All that is required is complete surrender, which is possible only through child like faith. It is here the words 'be like a child', 'let the children come to me' have their significance. Like a child blindly depends on her parents, we must completely depend on God, and only then true surrender and faith is possible. Praise the Lord. We are made for that. Have a nice day!.
