A Deeper Commitment
Peter and others had fished all nightTired – Exhausted – Disappointed

leave the fishing to me
His obedience to the Lord’s request showed a deeper commitment

A Deeper Respect or Awe
The answer to the questions is easy
Lack of SightLack of seeing God as He is
We need to continually be aware of God - To see Him in his glory and majesty and might
Also need to see ourselves through unclouded eyesPeter - Luke 5:8Isaiah - Isaiah 6:5

It will be Christ's will that draws man unto him
