So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.<br \/><strong data-start=\"120\" data-end=\"134\">Luke 5:6\u20137<\/strong><br \/><\/em><\/p><p data-start=\"120\" data-end=\"376\">Looking at Peter\u2019s encounter with Christ in Luke 5:1\u201311, we have already asked, <em data-start=\"505\" data-end=\"538\">\u201cHow do we respond to failure?\u201d<\/em> (vv. 1\u20132), and <em data-start=\"554\" data-end=\"589\">\u201cHow do we respond to authority?\u201d<\/em> (vv. 3\u20135). A third question we can draw from this passage is, <em data-start=\"652\" data-end=\"685\">\u201cHow do we respond to success?\u201d<\/em><\/p><p data-start=\"687\" data-end=\"997\">As Peter obeyed the word of the Lord, he discovered that the Lord is able to do \u201cexceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think\u201d (Ephesians 3:20). The catch of fish was so great that the nets began to break, and even after calling for help, both boats began to sink under the weight of the blessing.<\/p><p data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1317\">Success is a tricky thing for many of us. It can lead to pride\u2014causing us to think that <em data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1091\">we<\/em> accomplished something in our own strength. It can cause us to lose sight of the One who is the true source of every blessing. It can even isolate us, making us pull away from others. But Peter\u2019s response is very instructive.<\/p><p data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1524\">First, he reached out to others for help, which allowed them to share in the blessing. Scripture teaches this principle throughout both the Old and New Testaments (Genesis 12:2; Acts 20:35; Luke 6:38).<\/p><p data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"2027\">Next, Peter was humbled by the goodness of the Lord toward him. It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4). Peter saw himself clearly in the light of God\u2019s grace, and he responded, <em data-start=\"1737\" data-end=\"1852\">\u201cWhen Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus\u2019 knees, saying, \u2018Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!\u2019\u201d <\/em>When we catch even a glimpse of the goodness, greatness, and glory of the Lord, there is no room for pride, arrogance, or self. We see this clearly illustrated in Isaiah 6.<\/p><p data-start=\"2029\" data-end=\"2280\">Lastly, we read in verse 9: <em data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2158\">\u201cFor he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken.\u201d <\/em>Obedience to the Lord results in lives that testify to the greatness of our God\u2014and that testimony overflows to others!<\/p><p data-start=\"2282\" data-end=\"2378\"><strong>Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<\/strong><br \/>All of this happened because Peter\u2019s response to the Lord\u2019s authority was, \u201cAt Your word.\u201d What is <em data-start=\"2388\" data-end=\"2393\">our<\/em> response to the Word of God today?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Responding To Success And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.
