Working or Following, Luke 5:1-11


The chapter break between 4&5 of Luke is a little unfortunate for me because the events of these verses should be seen together and in contrast.  While Jesus spent the night, dark till dawn, healing all who came to Him (4:40-42), Peter, James, and John spent the night fishing and caught nothing (5:5).  How tragic, but how typical! 
While Jesus is at work for the gospel of the Kingdom, we... rather, I am just at work.
Would to God I would listen more to the Voice that calls me to follow and become a fisher of men (5:10).
