4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 “Master,” Simon replied, “we’ve worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I’ll let down the nets.”
6 When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets began to tear. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’s knees and said, “Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!” 9 For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners.
“Don’t be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you will be catching people.” 11 Then they brought the boats to land, left everything, and followed him.
Luke 5
When the miracle happens, how do we respond? Peter showed his true heart, he usually did. He didn’t believe Jesus would come through, it’s not that he was actively doubting, he just didn’t even factor a miracle into the equation. He would accomplish his plans himself. When God showed up and performed a miracle, Peter repented and he grew a little more faithful. When God shows up in our lives, do we repent because of our lack of faith? Do we factor God into the equation? Do we follow Jesus and do what he asks whether or not it seems to us we can accomplish it? God can do it, when Jesus speaks, let’s listen.
