With one astonishing response to an otherwise
unnoteworthy need at the wedding in Cana, our Redeemer revealed so much about
His will and ways. For instance, He revealed that He can turn exhausted
resources into abundant overflow in an instant, and showed how an ordinary
moment can be transformed into a miraculous blessing by simply obeying His
commands. He demonstrated that our needs and requests are not ignored, and that
He is perfectly willing to do something supernatural in our everyday lives if
we ask in faith. He also made known His inclination to save the best for last. Blessed
LORD, thank You for making it plain to see, exhausted resources set the stage
for Your amazing handiwork.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
