Jesus Calls Peter

This account in Luke 5:1-11 tells of the miraculous draft of fishes that Peter caught after following Jesus' instructions. He had fished all night and had caught nothing. That failure to catch anything meant that he and his partners would be there on the shore cleaning and mending their nets when Jesus came to teach. If they had caught something, they might have been busy at the market, trying to sell their catch and might have missed Jesus. So often, our falling short sets the stage for God to work, to do exceedingly abundantly more than we could ask or think.
