John 2:1-12 • Water to Wine

In our text this week, John takes us behind the scenes, as Jesus turns water to wine at a wedding, without the wedding couple or even the headwaiter knowing that a miracle had taken place.

We often think of the spiritual discipline of “waiting” upon the Lord (as servants), but there is also “waiting” upon the Lord for His perfecting timing in our lives. “Waiting” is often our experience with God, but in our story this Sunday, we will see there are times that God works immediately! Maybe even before we know there was a problem, God has already stepped in to fix it for us. And we are unaware of it—like the wedding party and the headwaiter in this story.

So—let me urge you to GIVE THANKS  For the many answers to prayers that were never even prayed! God providing and protecting and working on your behalf without you even realizing there was a problem.

This is just one of many lessons to be “gleaned” from the story of water to wine. Another lesson: Jesus takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinary. This is my prayer for you this week—that as you walk in His Spirit, the ordinary things would be extraordinary.
