Today I want to look at Andrew Womack's devotional.
DO WHAT HE SAYS
John 2:5 "His mother saith
unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do [it]."
Mary knew Jesus as no one else
did at this point. The Bible supplies no details of the childhood of Jesus
except his trip to Jerusalem at twelve years of age, but it is certain that
Mary knew Jesus was no ordinary man. Her request of Jesus to provide the guests
with more wine reflects her belief that He could do things others could not.
Her instructions to the servants
were, "Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." This shows that she not
only knew Jesus could work miracles, but she knew His way of doing things did
not always conform to conventional thought. Sure enough, Jesus told the
servants to fill the pots with water and then take it to the governor of the
feast.
This defied logic! Everyone there
knew the guests wanted more wine, not water. Yet these servants, at Mary's
bidding, did exactly what Jesus told them and the results were wonderful. This
miracle would not have taken place if the servants had not done what seemed
foolish to them.
The Lord's ways are not our ways
and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8). To see His miraculous power
in our lives, we must do "whatsoever" He tells us to do regardless of
how foolish it may seem. The foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men
and the weakness of God is stronger than men (1 Corinthians 1:25). Today, whatsoever
He says unto you, do it!
I LOVE this! ALL of the promises of God are YES! And AMEN! In JESUS! WE receive the WORD and FAITH comes! WE meditate on the Word and BOLD ASSURANCE comes! WE SPEAK this Word and HE CONFIRMS it with signs, wonders and miracles! AMEN! When we add our AMEN (SO BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD!) HE does what only HE can do ! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "Shadow Step". EXPECT the UNEXPECTED! HE is ready and waiting! Shalom in Him!
