Seek Ye First ...

In Matthew, Jesus tells us, "...But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well."

Peter was a fisherman. That wasn't his hobby, mind you; it was his vocation. It was how he provided for his family, including a wife and possibly a mother-in-law. So, when he had been working hard all night without so much as a nibble, there would have been consequences. Jesus understood this. He knew Peter was the breadwinner. But Jesus asked him to leave those nets, and Peter obeyed. The rest, as they say, is His Story, albeit still unfolding.

Peter's obedience to follow Jesus yielded not only the eternal rewards of salvation to the masses and establishment of the church but food for the day.
