At Your Word

Luke 5:1-5 ESV 

On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”

Hearing the word of God from the shore is quite different than from hearing it and moving into the water by acting on it. 

It is in the waters of mankind where the net of the kingdom of heaven is filled. These are the dark waters of the deep before light was spoken into creation.
