"Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood."
Acts 20:28

“When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, ‘Go away from me Lord; I am a sinful man.’” (Luke 5:8)
Peter has spent a long night fishing without catching anything. After coming back to shore, Jesus told Peter to put down his net. Peter must have thought to himself, why bother? He had been out all night and didn’t catch anything. But when Peter did put the net back into the water, there were so many fish, he had to call for help to bring them all in! What an amazing miracle! Peter’s first response to this miracle had to be his awe, quickly followed by his reply to Jesus as he realized his own insignificance compared to Jesus. Peter had likely heard about some of the miracles Jesus had done (healing the sick, making the lame walk, making the deaf hear). Peter was likely amazed at how Jesus cared about the details of his life. God is interested in all that we do and is willing to help us with our everyday activities and needs.
