Scripture: Luke 5:1-11

A discouraged Peter after an all-nighter on the lake and catching nothing, yields to obedience at Jesus' word to cast out again. The meaning of obedience from its prefix and root means to put your ears up against what you are listening to. Methods of brief meditation and journaling are offered in order to have us place your ear next to God's voice within, and respond with joyful obedience.
