A unique view, wouldn't we all want to see this?
Luke 5:4-6
On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on Him to hear the Word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 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.”
5 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”
9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on, you will be catching men.”
11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
Peter was living a Deuteronomy Blessing moment. And his reaction was disciple typical - absolute fear. Angels are God's messengers and instructed to speak with authority, "Fear Not!" God would indeed be able to carry His Message succinctly and effectively.

God loves to repeat Scripture because we see our unique circumstances fits in His Plans.
His Will. Peter was afraid and later the 72 disciples would see too many blessings and too much God Authority Absolutely to be comfortable. Then again, God does not have Angels say, "Be comfortable, what is your opinion?" God tends to do all God intends.
When we go back and back to the Pentateuch, we are reminded Jesus was the Light of Creation. Scriptures repeat and repeat to explain the Power of God. In the Gospels, Jesus tells us, to know the Scriptures is to know the Power of God.
God can send fish. God can send men. God sends men.
God can give a donkey speech.
God fills the Ark with birds of the air and animals of all kinds.

2 Kings 6
15 When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16 He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
Where would God get the fish?
Or the animals for Noah's Ark?
Anywhere He wants
2 Kings 2:11-13
And as they still went on and talked, behold, chariots of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them.
And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it and he cried, “My father, my father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”
And he saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. 13 And he took up the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
1 Chronicles 4:9
10 Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!"
And God granted him what he requested.
Lift up your heads, O gates!
Be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that the
King of Glory may enter!
Abba, Father,
Our heart hears the call from You.
And we see in Scripture
the mercy of the merciful
Luke 17:17-19
Then Jesus answered,
“Were not ten cleansed?
Where are the nine?
Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
And He said to him,
“Rise and go your way;
your faith has made you well.”
Help us to LIVE
each day
putting You first.
As the Name of Jesus covers us
and
the Holy Spirit dwells in us.
We ask healing
of Your Good Creation!
The fullness of the earth is Yours.
The healing of those we pray for
in our heart and soul.
in our heart and soul.
Those who have worried about
illness
and the ones they love.
Dwell in us, Father,
we ask in the Highest Name of Jesus.
Dwell, fully, in those we love
Help us to seek You
first
and we will finish well
in Jesus Christ.
Thank You.
Our God is working. His Son,
Jesus is working.
Amen.
