The Other Way

There is a bible story, that illustrates a universal principle of spiritual growth, which is let go of your way, and try another way, especially if your way is not working.  The story: guys were fishing all night and caught nothing.  They are back on shore and a wisdom figure says to go into the deep and cast their nets again, even though fish are not biting at that time.  One of the lead fishermen says they have caught nothing but will cast their nets anyway according to the wisdom figure, who is Jesus of Nazareth, in this case.  The nets catch a lot of fish.  The point?  If your way is not working why not let it go and surrender to another way.  The key is to find a wisdom figure and be willing to let go of your will.
