The Right Side
At our house we do this weird thing whenever there is any type of storm
– snow, wind, rain, dust. One of us will look out the front window describing how
bad it is and that will cause the other one to go and check out the backdoor
window to see what is going on in the backyard. Even though there is only 26
feet between the front and the back of the house, we invariably compare the two
sides saying, “Come look out this side. I
think it’s worse over here.” I used to laugh at the foolishness of our
front and back weather reporting until I remembered the experience of the
disciples fishing all night on the Sea of Tiberias without catching any fish. Maybe
there’s not a lot of difference between a house and a boat. Jesus called from the shore saying, “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 NIV)

Gail;
-----I think Jesus had something to do with it. Now, that isn’t to say Jesus isn’t in your house, well, actually, in you guys in your house. He is. He could still concentrate the whole storm onto your barbeque grille if He wanted. But that reminds me of the Pentecostal chick I knew in High School who sought the Lord diligently for what color of car to buy. I think Jesus gets into trivia, like the wine at Cana, but only when it serves a proper effect, like the amazement at Cana. And of course, any old amazement is not necessarily proper effect, or it would storm only on your bar-B.
Love you all,
