THE MIRACULOUS LIFE

Jesus’ first miracle turned 120 gallons of water into wine. “His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’" John 2:5 (ESV). Profound advice! The typical water jar of that era held about twenty gallons. Six, 20-gallon jars filled with drinkable water...that’s a lot of trips to the town well! But Mary’s sound counsel was a key element of the miracle, as was the obedience and hard work of the servants. Miracles are often lying just behind a curtain of doubt, confusion or unwillingness to be blindly obedient. There were multiple people in this story, but each person’s willingness to obey was critical to the manifestation of the blessing. The miraculous life is not a singular event or moment, it is a daily walk of navigating unclear commands from the Commander of Our Souls. LORD, grant me fresh grace to face this day’s needed miracles with simple obedience to Your every Word.
