On the surface, Yeshua’s words to Simon Peter that day on the lake didn’t make much sense. They had fished all night and caught nothing. The nets were empty. Their strength was spent. Yet—Yeshua said, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets” (Luke 5).

To Peter, it must have felt pointless. But still—he obeyed.

And in that simple act of trust, something extraordinary happened. The nets filled with so many fish they began to break. Not only was Peter’s boat overwhelmed, but another boat—called to help—started sinking under the weight of the catch.

This miracle reveals a powerful truth: God often calls us to act beyond reason. And when we obey—even when it defies logic—He shows up in ways beyond anything we could ask or imagine.

Sometimes, the instruction feels too small. Too strange. Like when Naaman was told to wash in the Jordan River to be healed. He almost walked away—it didn’t feel spiritual or important enough. But when he humbled himself and obeyed, he was cleansed (2 Kings 5).

God’s power flows through obedience. Not when we fully understand—but when we yield in faith.

This may strike a chord with many of us. Perhaps you’ve sensed God leading you somewhere that doesn’t “add up.” It might mean taking a step that looks foolish to others—or even to yourself. But the Lord knows the end from the beginning. And when we trust Him more than our own logic, He meets us with blessing and power.

I’ve seen this in my own life. The doors that opened, the places I’ve gone, the people I’ve prayed with—it wasn’t because I crafted the perfect plan. It was because the Lord led, and by His grace, I followed. Not without fear. Not without questions. But with faith.

And the fruit wasn’t just external. It was the peace and intimacy that comes from walking closely with Yeshua. That’s the true reward. That’s the miracle.

So if you’re standing on the edge of something uncertain, I urge you: launch out into the deep. Let down your nets. Not because it makes sense—but because the Lord said so.

When we stop leaning on what seems reasonable and start trusting the voice of our Shepherd, we enter a different realm—a place where boats sink from blessing, where the natural bows to the supernatural.

And that’s where real joy lives. Not in achieving greatness by the world’s standards—but in knowing you’re walking in the will of God.

Trust and obey…
