…BUT AT THY WORD I WILL…

In letting down the net: Peter voices doubt, but was willing to follow the Lord’s word – Luke 5:5

In laying down the net: Peter doubts himself when he sees the results, recognizing his sinful

state in the presence of the authority of the Lord – v. 6-8

But he and his partners were willing to leave all when the Lord called them – v. 9-11

Peter showed the mindset of a disciple. It was enough for him that the Lord told him to do something, even if he didn’t think it would work.
