5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

For someone to say God’s people will run into problems would be an understatement. For someone to agree that God is able to bring us out of problems would make most say ‘duh’! But for someone to say that God’s people are always obedient to his commandments would be a lie. It never fails. Child runs into mess. Child cries to Father. Father hears child’s cry and gives instructions for child to get out of mess. Child does not listen. Mess continues. We could learn a thing or two from Mary and the men at the wedding. The mess: no more wine at the wedding. The advice: Whatever Jesus says for you to do, do it. The result: A miracle. Who would’ve thunk it? Total submission yields total Victory. A simple equation that brought forth natural results. Jesus told them to fill 6 waterpots with water. Look at how much they trusted this Teacher: they filled them UP to the BRIM. Talk about the cup running over. Look at how much Power your God has. Nowhere in the Scripture do you see Jesus touching the water or the pots. He told them to take the water to the governor of the feast. The servants did. As the priest drank the water, it turned into wine. TALK ABOUT POWER! TALK ABOUT FAITH! The servant’s problem was that there was no more wine. Here this Stranger was, telling them to fill some pots with water, they do it, and now He’s telling them to show WATER to a wine-deprived-governor! Because of their total submission, they were totally saved. If only 2 waterpots were filled they would witness only 33% percent of a miracle. If the pots were half filled, their miracle would have been half empty. If they did not take the water to the governor, it would have never turned into wine. Excuse me for asking dumb questions, but if they can trust a Stranger with some ice water, why can’t you trust the Savior with your income? If they can walk with water while they pray for wine, why can’t you hold on to a broken heart while waiting on a rekindled flame? If God is powerful enough to turn the most ordinary of water into the most exquisite of wine, why can He not take the simplest of prayers to the most powerful of all Promises?

John 8:58

study

58“I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

Seasons change. People change. Moods change. One person will not: Jesus (Hebrews 13:8). His continuality is so great, that in the past He is, in the present He is, and in the future He is. He is an ongoing Source of Glory; a never ending Root of Redemption. He is God. He cared too much for you to let your Pastor be God; a Pastor would disregard air if you disregarded Church. His love was too great to let your mother have the God title; your Mother may forget to bless you if the rest of the world has her attention. Your brother is not worthy of Godship; his anger could take you out before his mercy could bring you out. Jesus’ thoughts were too sincere and his love was too great; He had to be God and no one else.

Acts 27:11

study

11But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.

Paul warned them to remain where they were for a little longer, but alas, 'the centurion believed the master...of the ship more than...Paul.' The captain no doubt studied the ocean and was well schooled in it. Therefore the centurion trusted the one with the Master's Degree versus the one who know the Master to a great degree.

Reminder

Psalms 34:15

study

15The eyes of the LORD are on the righteousand his ears are attentive to their cry;

A Gospel song boasts that if God's eyes are on the sparrow, than the writer knows God watches him. David agreed, for 'the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous.' Whom God loves, He watches, and whom He watches, He loves. If He watches us, then truly He will see the good work He started in us complete.
