4 Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, “Children, you have no fish, have you?” They answered him, “No.” 6 He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because there were so many fish. 7 That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he had taken it off, and jumped into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards off.
Prayer Focus: How often do we miss what is right in front of us? How often do we encounter people and not truly see them or get to know who they are? How often do we miss Christ in our midst? The answer is all the time. We move so quickly through our daily work and routines, that we miss the opportunity to see those around us. So much so that Christ could be standing in front of usand we may not know him. Pray this week that we might slow down, and practice seeing and knowing Christ in the faces of those we meet.
