Obedience to God

John 2:7,8 - Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.
Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet". They did so.

I sometimes wonder, if I am doing what God wants me to do!
It's a mixture of things which makes me wonder like that:
- am I hearing God right?
- if I did what I believe I heard, then will I see the desired result?

The questions can be unending.
And usually the questions come because I am thinking too much of the implications. And I am just reminded that all God wants me to do is 'come to Him with a child-like faith'.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, knew that Jesus had the potential to do something extra-ordinary (vs.3), even though He hadn't done anything spectacular up until then.
Though Jesus refused (vs.4); she told the servants to do whatever He tells them to do (vs.5).

In vs.7 - Jesus tells them to fill the jars with water .. and they quickly obey.
No questions asked.
And interestingly, the servants filled it to the 'brim'.
They took Jesus quite literally. Jesus said FILL, and they filled it :-)
Maybe, it could be as a mockery, but nonetheless they did what Jesus asked them to.
Notice, that they made sure that nothing else can be added to it. Even if Jesus had a magic potion, to mix ... it wasn't possible!

And at the very next breath, he says in vs.8 to take it to the master of the banquet.
I am sure the servants should have objected and raised a protest now!
But strangely they didn't!

And it's out of that obedience; we get to read about His first miracle.

Are we waiting for a miracle from God today?
Why not just obey Him as a child?
The more we resist, the difficult it is for us to experience His miraculous touch.

Maybe, you are waiting for a miracle which has never ever happened before - He can do it!
The question is: Are you willing?

Obey Him, doesn't matter how insignificant it may seem.
The miracle is close at hand.
