Daily Devo | Knowing Better Than God? (New Testament in a Year, Luke 5:1-16)
Description
When Jesus called his first disciples, he asked them to do something that made no sense at all — it went against everything they understood as fisherman. Still, Simon (the soon-to-be Apostle Peter) did what Jesus said and the results were staggering, literally life-changing! How often are we tempted to think, like Simon, that we might know better than God? Will we trust our "logic" or trust our Lord?

For Reflection:
- Why do you imagine that Peter reacted with shame (v8)?
- How do you typically respond when you become aware of your own sin or inadequacy?
- Where might Jesus be asking you to trust and obey, even when it doesn’t make sense to you?
- How does the healing of the leper shape your understanding of Jesus’ power and compassion?
- Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me trust you to lead me, that I might follow you with a willing heart.
