His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” John 2:5
In the miracle story
of Jesus turning water into wine, we read in John
2:1-11 that Jesus, His disciples and His mother were invited to a
wedding. Not too far into the wedding festivities, the owner ran out of wine.
Jesus’ mother, Mary, came to Jesus, telling Him the wine is all gone. She then
turned to the servants and instructed them to do as Jesus says. They did and behold,
six water pots were full of good tasting wine, and the master of the
festivities was satisfied.
I believe this story
was told not to just share another miracle, but to understand how Jesus can
take our needs and fulfil them through ordinary means, bringing satisfaction to
the heart of those who trust in Him. Mary’s instructions to the servants should
be true for us, “whatever He says to you, do it.” When we bring our request
before Him, we should always be ready to: 1. Trust Him by letting go of our
worries. 2. Be prepared to act out in faith when He calls us to be a part of
the answered prayer. He will use the ordinary things in our life to bring
resolution to our troubles.
What burden are you
carrying right now? Have you brought it before Jesus? He is more than capable
of helping to bring resolution to your problems through prayer and trust in
Him. Take action when called upon in the fulfillment of your request and you
will experience satisfaction like no other. Trust Him today with your concerns
and watch as He turns your need into something amazing! God bless!
