Imagine for a moment Simon Peter and his job as a fisherman. He goes out at night when fishing is best – but cast after cast, he turns up nothing and worries about providing for his family. He plans and schemes and questions God – only to find his boat empty as the sun starts to rise. But as he approaches the shore, Simon sees a man they call Jesus – and Jesus tells him, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night but haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” And then the commotion – a catch so large that the nets begin to break, and Simon’s words – “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man.” I think we have all been Peter, trying to do things on our own, doubting God at every turn, and living in our sins – but one moment changed everything for Simon, as it can for us – being obedient to Jesus and trusting in Him.
