“Let Down Your Nets” – Trusting God Beyond Logic

📖 Luke 5:4–7

“When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.’
Simon answered, ‘Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.’
When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.” – Luke 5:4–6 (NIV)

Have you ever done everything right and still felt like you had nothing to show for it? You worked hard. You followed the plan. You gave it your all… and yet, no results.

That’s exactly where Peter was.

A seasoned fisherman, Peter had fished all night and caught nothing. By morning, he was tired, frustrated, and ready to call it quits. Then Jesus showed up.

Jesus didn’t give him a new fishing technique. He didn’t hand Peter a different kind of net. He simply said, “Try again. But this time, in the deep.”

Here’s what gets me: Peter didn’t believe there were fish. But he trusted the One who asked him to go back out.

“Because You say so…”
That is the heart of obedience.

When Peter followed Jesus’ direction, the result was more than he could handle. So many fish, the nets started breaking and he had to call for help.

That’s how God works. He doesn’t just want to meet our expectations—He wants to exceed them. But often, the breakthrough comes in the place where we’re most tired. Most discouraged. Most done.

And maybe that’s why it’s called faith.

So today, if God is nudging you to “let down your nets again”—to try one more time, speak one more word, believe one more time—do it.

Even if it doesn’t make sense.
Even if you’ve already tried.
Even if you’re tired.

Because on the other side of obedience is abundance.

🎯 Your net-breaking moment might be waiting in the deep.
