MY NEXT STEP TODAY IS TO. . .

¡ Memorize Proverbs 3:5-6

¡ Ask God to help me to obey Him even when I don’t understand what He‘s doing

¡ Ask God what I can surrender to Him this week, then follow His lead

¡ As I move into 2021 ask God to help me to lay aside anything that I’ve been trusting in for my future and cling instead to Him

“One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. He saw at

the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down

and taught the people from the boat.”Luke 5:1-3

“‘I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the

commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’”

Matthew 28:18-20

Memory Verse “Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

And lean not on your own understanding;In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.”Proverbs 3:5-6

“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother

or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is

not accompanied by action, is dead.”James 2:14-17

“Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us—I want you

to excel also in this gracious act of giving.”2 Corinthians 8:7

Two Prayers To Build Your Trust

“ When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.’ 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 5:4-5

“When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the

other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.”

Luke 5:6-7
