This is what made the all difference: Christ's word! The men had garnered nothing for all their effort in the night. But now the Lord had commanded, and His is the word that does not return empty without accomplishing what He desires (Isaiah 55:10-11). When the Lord declares something it happens–and happens in fulness (see vv. 6-7, where the nets were near to breaking and the boats to sinking!). Do we truly believe this, as Peter did? How much we miss when we do not take God up at His word.
