1-FIGHT

Luke 5:2-4 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

2- DON’T GIVE UP

LUKE 5:5 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”

3- ACCEPT

JOB 1:21 And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”
