Luke 5:4-5 - "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.""
Obedience
"But because you say so..."
Faith
"But because you say so..."
Honor
"But because You say so..."
Love
"But because You say so..."
He had fished all night and didn't catch a thing. He was a fisherman by trade. He knew the water. But he also knew his Savior. "But because you say so..." Simon listened to the Savior and *together* they caught so many fish the nets began to break. Had to have help to haul them all in.
He was willing. Willing to have obedience, faith, honor and love.
May I be as obedient, faithful, honoring and loving as Simon Peter was, and simply respond to Christ with, "But because you say so, I will do it."
And may I remember I am never alone. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are with me, helping me together to do whatever I am told.

I remember growing up hearing "Because I said so" from my parents. It always had a negative connotation to me.
I try to not use that tooooo often with my kids (although, there are some times when it's the only appropriate answer!) But, this post has me thinking about that same idea turned on it's head!
Great reminder. That's all the reason we need to be obedient.
Wow what a wonderful remider! I love the passage and the picture!
I'll have to write that on my forehead. " But Because You Say so"
Blessings...

One of my very first posts ever was on this same passage of Scripture and what stuck out to me was the phrase, "Because you say so."
Thanks for the reminder and the challenge to have a heart that is willing to say those same words!

Today your words Becasue you said so makes me take another look and make some decisons about this walk with God.
