Luke 5:4-8

When we listen to God, putting aside our intellect, miracles happen. We only need to listen and follow His word. We will never be worthy but He is.

This is Peter’s statement of faith. The fisherman noted that he and his companions had just failed to make a catch at the best time for fishing, the evening. The circumstances were not good for a catch at the time of Jesus’ command, but Peter chose to obey His word and let down his nets anyway.

Luke 5:4-8

⁴ When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 

⁵ But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” ⁶ And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. ⁷ So 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 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
