Peter and his companions had been working hard all night. Their efforts had not produced even one fish. They had given up and were headed home. But Jesus told them to try it just one more time. It would have been easy for Peter to reject Jesus’ command. After all, Peter had been a fisherman all his life. Jesus was just a preacher. What did He know about fishing? Yet something, or rather someone, caused Peter to try just once more.

The key to success or failure lies in doing things at the word of Jesus. Peter said, ‘at thy word I will let down the net.’ God’s words always get results. Today, make sure your efforts are directed by God and you will experience the results that have eluded you in the past.
