Whatever He says to you, do it. --John 2:5Jesus' first recorded miracle took place while He was attending a wedding celebration.
When the marriage couple ran out of wine
to serve their guests, Mary asked her Son to do something about the
situation, telling the servants, "Whatever He tells you to do, do it."
Jesus ordered them to fill up several huge water pots. When they had
done so, He directed them to draw out of the vessels the water which by
then had been miraculously changed into wine (See John 2:1-11). Because
of their obedience to Him, the physical needs of many were met that
day.
If you are looking for a miracle in your life, make sure
you are sowing seeds of obedience, because the Lord has promised us
that if we do so in patient confidence and trust in Him, we will
eventually reap: "And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in
acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed
season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and
faint." (Galatians 6:9).
Sometimes when things are not working
out the way we think they should or we are not receiving the answers to
our prayers as quickly as we would like, we get the idea, "Well, since
God's not doing anything, why should I? Why should I be obedient if it
isn't producing results?" In such times we must realize that God is
always working. We just may not be able to see it, because He usually
works in secret.
