Trusting Jesus at His word

Luke 5:5
But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”

Jesus was not just asking Peter and his fishing buddies for some extra effort after a long night of hard fishing, He was asking the illogical, irrational, unreasonable and impossible. Fish were not caught in deep water, but shallow - this was the wrong place. Fish were not caught in the daytime, this is when they rest - this was the wrong time. Fishing was not done with just one net or one boat but two (as evidenced in verse 7 when they called for help) - this was the wrong method.
This is what makes Peter's obedience so remarkable. Against all of Peter's expertise and fishing experience, against all earthly reason, Peter set out into deep water and let down his net, trusting nothing more than the person and word of Jesus. No doubt Peter had a few miracles in mind as he obeyed; the miracle at Cana, driving out the demon in Capernaum and especially healing Peter's mother-in-law (Luke 4). However this discipline is still impressive - especially considering Peter's impulsive nature. Peter's understanding of who Jesus was fortified Jesus' words and became Peter's highest authority.
Is this true in my life? Do I reason out of earthly logic or is Jesus and His word my highest authority? Do I act of our my own reservoir of earthly encounters and knowledge or do I rely on the eternal truths of Jesus nature and word? Is my knowledge of Jesus enough for me to do the illogical at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and in the wrong way simply because of Jesus' words?

Father - I want to know Jesus and hear His words echo in my heart daily. Help me to set aside my earthly knowledge and reasoning and fully trust You. Teach me to cast out into deep waters as I fish for men. Amen.
