Put out into the deep

January 31
“And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.'”
-Luke 5:4
Today’s Reflection:

He will deliver us again

“On Him we have set our hope that He will deliver us again.”

-2 Corinthians 1:10

 

Today’s Reflection:
