(Scriptural meditation begins at 4:49.)
Simon Peter was a professional fisherman. And Jesus keeps teaching him, again and again, that he, Jesus, has greater mastery over fishing. And over everything else. After fruitless nights of fishing, Jesus tells Peter where to cast his nets, for an astounding catch. Jesus walks on water, calms sea storms.

It’s easy to pray in desperation when we feel hard-pressed and incompetent, and, often,

Christ rescues us, adds a 1 before our zeroes.

However, it’s equally important to turn over our strengths to him, so he can add zeroes after our 1. And the more we can surrender our strengths to his management, the more he blesses them.
