“JUST OBEY!”
John 2:3-5
“When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to Him, ‘They have no more wine.’ ‘Woman, why do you involve me?’ Jesus replied. ‘My hour has not yet come.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’”
All too often we do things based upon emotional feelings and say it was God who told us to do it. I recall hearing Dr. Donald Barnhouse tell of a lady approaching him following one of his services and gushing about how God had told her to do this or that and how wonderful it was. She asked him what he thought.
Dr. Barnhouse was never one to shirk from telling the truth. He looked her straight in the eye and stated that it was not God telling her to do all of those things -- it was her own desires rushing into doing them and then trying to get God to place His blessing on them! Brave man, that mighty preacher of God! I think that lady was not very thrilled with his wise counsel.
It seems strange to me that Jesus would say to His mother that His time had not yet come, and then immediately perform His first miracle in the changing of water into wine. Remember, He had not as yet performed any miracles, so her statement was not based upon what He had done before this time. Yet she tells the servants, "DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU."
If we are to be obedient servants of the Lord and among those who sincerely seek His will, our best course of action is to JUST OBEY!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
