When was the last time you went fishing?
If you've had any experience fishing in fresh water,
you know that the best time to catch is in the early
morning, when the fish swim to the surface for food and
warmth. When the water warms with the heat of the day,
they swim to lower depths.
Simon Peter, along with his contemporaries, knew this.
When he returned after a pre-dawn expedition without any
fish, he was frustrated. No more frustrated than with
the traveling preacher who commandeered his boat for
preaching, then ordered him to go fishing in the middle
of the day. That day would change his life, for he
encountered, then followed Jesus.
