One Saturday, as a teenager, my grandfather instructed me to remove the front tires on a car he was repairing so that he could replace the brakes. One tire had a lug nut that wouldn’t budge.

After many attempts, I finally told my grandfather that the lug nut was impossible to remove. He sprayed some WD-40 on the lug nut and said, “Now try it.” Naturally, it came right off.

Simon Peter once had a similar experience. In Luke 5:5 Simon said, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

Jesus gave Peter the help he needed which resulted in an amazing catch of fish. Sometimes the right help needs to be added to hard work.
