Act On the Unreasonable and God Does the Impossible

In Luke 5:1-11 we see Jesus working the miraculous catch of fish. In order for the miracle to occur, Jesus asked, no instructed Peter, to launch out into deep water for a catch after having fished all night and caught nothing. In fact, Peter thought the request was unreasonable (v.5) "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything..." Sometimes we allow the methods we are accustomed to, the traditions we are conditioned by, and the repetitions of daily life that we are familiar with, limit what we think God can do. In order to stretch our faith God asks the unreasonable of us. When we act on the unreasonable, He does the impossible which is the miraculous.
