Faith Beyond Experience

Peter knew well how fishing worked. After a whole night without catching anything, experience told him that trying again would be useless. But at the word of Jesus, he casts the nets again and witnesses something never seen before: a catch so abundant that it breaks the nets and fills two boats.

What makes the miracle even more extraordinary is that, even though the nets broke, the fish continued to increase. Here logic stops and gives way to faith. When God acts, reality itself is transformed.

This principle is also clear in the life of Abraham. Everything told him that having a child was impossible, but he chose to believe in God's promise rather than the limits of nature. Faith does not stop in front of probabilities, but trusts completely in what God has said.

Another emblematic story is that of the widow of Zarephath. With a last handful of flour and a drizzle of oil, she was ready to starve to death with her son. But God, through Elijah, asked her for an act of faith. She obeyed and saw the miracle: her supplies never ran out again.

Peter learned a powerful lesson that morning: faith is not based on what seems possible, but on what God commands. And when you take God at his word, the result always goes beyond all expectations.
