This Beginning of Miracles - John 2:1-11

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, Scripture reading for this day is found in John 2, "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:...," We are engaged in an incident which has seemingly occured between Mary, Jesus' mother and Jesus himself regarding no wine at the wedding. Apparently someone had forgoten to order the wine. However, the response from Jesus to his mother was so much deeper in meaning. The exchange of words and actions taken by the servants who were also involved revealed that this was going to be bigger and better than anyone would ever imagine. Jesus words spoken vs. 4, 7, and 8, which state, "Woman, what have I do do with thee: mine hour is not yet come,; vs. 7 Fill the water pots with water,; and vs 8, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast," Finally in vs 11, "This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed in him." This scripture of a wedding with no wine followed by the filling of empty water pots with water and servants delivering the filled water pots to the governor of the feast, which he drinks and announces that it is the finest of wines. Yes this is the beginning of miracles and his disciples believed in him. Do you believe in miracles? Have you experienced in your life where something very important was happening and all you were seeing were empty water jugs? Have you been asked to do or say something which seems questionable to you but when you do as instructed find that what you had filled the empty jugs with was actually the finest of... and later on many will say that it was a miracle. Yes, our Lord still fills us (empty water jugs) with His living water and what flows from us is the "good wine." He fills us with the BEST of us and then we are able to share with others and a miracle occurs, the miracle of His glory being manifested and His disciples believing in Him. Are you ready to be about Your Father's business? Abba Father, Gracious and Mighty and Glorious art Thou. O Lord I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that as she brings to You herself, an empty water jug, may You fill her up to the brim and deliver her to the places and peoples that You have planned and purposed for her life and as she pours herself out may Your glory be manifested and many believe for they have just been given the finest of..., "good wine". In Jesus Name, Amen. Being poured forth,
