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!
