Day 31
1. Scripture for the Day
Some Background: One day after Jesus preached, He asked Peter to go out to fish. Peter was reluctant because he with others had fished all night and not caught anything, but he granted Jesus’ request. The catch was overwhelming and they had to call for another boat to help them bring the catch into the shore. Then…
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying,“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and
followed Him. Luke 5:8-11
