At Thy Word

Luke 5:1-11

Now it occurred that while the people pressed upon Jesus to hear the message of God, He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret (Sea of Galilee).
2 And He saw two boats drawn up by the lake, but the fishermen had gone down from them and were washing their nets.
3 And getting into one of the boats, [the one] that belonged to Simon (Peter), He requested him to draw away a little from the shore. Then He sat down and continued to teach the crowd [of people] from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon (Peter), Put out into the deep [water], and lower your nets for a haul.
5 And Simon (Peter) answered, Master, we toiled all night [exhaustingly] and caught nothing [in our nets]. But on the ground of Your word, I will lower the nets [again].
6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish; and as their nets were [at the point of] breaking,
7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and take hold with them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 But when Simon Peter saw this, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was gripped with bewildering amazement [allied to terror], and all who were with him, at the haul of fish which they had made;
10 And so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon (Peter). And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from now on you will be catching men!
11 And after they had run their boats on shore, they left everything and joined Him as His disciples and sided with His party and accompanied Him.

Simon Peter was a professional fisherman, that is his job was fishing. He knew the right time to go fishing and he knew when it was a waste if time to try to catch fish. When Jesus told him to drop his net, Peter knee it was the wrong time to go fishing, yet he acted because Jesus said he should fish.
The time was wrong from the human point of view. However, the one who made the fish said it was time to fish. He gave the Fishman a miracle.

Peter responded to the word and the catch was amazing. Rise up from that sick bed and respond to the word that you are healed, the doctor's report, the banker's report and all the evil report isn't the final. Jesus has the final say, respond to His word with faith today and you will experience the miraculous in your life.

I am yielded to the word of God because the word of God is the final authority.
