"Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets." –Luke 5:5
"At thy word," says Peter, as he promptly obeys, therein repeating the watchword of seas and stars, of winds and worlds. It is clear that if it is done in faith, the simplest action of life maybe sublimely great. The flash of the wave as it covers Peter's net maybe as sublime before the Lord as the glory of the Red Sea billow when it returned in its strength. God who sees a world in a drop wonders in the smallest act of faith. We measure not moral and spiritual things by rods and chains. The common act of fishing at Christ's word links Peter with all the principalities and powers and forces that in all ages have known this as their only law: "He spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast" (Psalm 33:9). We, too, shall have fellowship with the sublime if we know how to be perfectly obedient to the word of the Lord.

I painted these fishermen in Sta. Fe, Bantayan Island, as they came from sea at sunrise from whole night fishing.
