「把船開到水深之處。」－路加福音5:4
水淺之處不能捕到魚，唯有水深之處才能。
我們也是如此；神的深處能滿足我們所有的需要。
我們需要將船開到「神話語的深處」。在那裡，聖靈會向我們啟示神話語的奧秘；原本熟悉的經文，我們將不再膚淺的領會，其中的意義將向我們重新揭示，如同水晶般的透亮、洋海般的無限。
把船開到「救贖的深處」，直到基督之血的寶貴向我們發光照耀，以祂所成就全能的功效膏抹我們，醫治我們的靈魂身體。
把船開到「父旨意的深處」，直到我們完全領會父用祂美好純全的旨意，無微不至地照顧我們一切的需要。
把船開到「聖靈的深處」，直到祂自己成為我們禱告中清楚的回應，直到祂成為我們無時無刻的指引，使祂得以在我們一切的境遇中改變我們的生命。
把船開到「神的心意和要來國度的深處」，直到主的再來，直到祂在千年國執掌王權，直到我們進入新天新地，我們的眼因祂的榮光目眩，我們的心因祂的同在心滿意足。耶穌呼召我們進入這一切的事。祂塑造了我們，祂也為我們造了深處，使我們和神之間得有深淵與深淵的響應（詩篇42:7）。-靈糧
"Launch out into the deep" (Luke 5:4).How deep He does not say. The depth into which we launch will depend upon how perfectly we have given up the shore, and the greatness of our need, and the apprehension of our possibilities. The fish were to be found in the deep, not in the shallow water.
So with us; our needs are to be met in the deep things of God. We are to launch out into the deep of God's Word, which the Spirit can open up to us in such crystal fathomless meaning that the same words we have accepted in times past will have an ocean meaning in them, which renders their first meaning to us very shallow.
Into the deep of the Atonement, until Christ's precious blood is so illuminated by the Spirit that it becomes an omnipotent balm, and food and medicine for the soul and body.
Into the deep of the Father's will, until we apprehend it in its infinite minuteness and goodness, and its far-sweeping provision and care for us.
Into the deep of the Holy Spirit, until He becomes a bright, dazzling, sweet, fathomless summer sea, in which we bathe and bask and breathe, and lose ourselves and our sorrows in the calmness and peace of His everlasting presence.
Into the deep of the Holy Spirit, until He becomes a bright, marvelous answer to prayer, the most careful and tender guidance, the most thoughtful anticipation of our needs, the most accurate and supernatural shaping of our events.
Into the deep of God's purposes and coming kingdom, until the Lord's coming and His millennial reign are opened up to us; and beyond these the bright entrancing ages on ages unfold themselves, until the mental eye is dazed with light, and the heart flutters with inexpressible anticipations of its joy with Jesus and the glory to be revealed.
Into all these things, Jesus bids us launch. He made us and He made the deep, and to its fathomless depths He has fitted our longings and capabilities. --Soul Food
