Pray, Obey and Speak to Others

John 2:3-5 KJV
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

What must it have been like to raise the perfect Son of God! Those thirty-some years as Mary witnessed the maturing of Jesus in the backdrop of the pronouncement of the angels must surely have aroused in her wonder.

Though Jesus had almost certainly done no miracles prior to this one; Mary seemed innately aware that He was capable of meeting this need. She brought the need to His attention and then instructed the servants to obey Him completely. 

There is something within us that knows Christ is capable of blessing, of meeting our needs, of doing what we could never do. Something tells us that if we will follow Him, though we cannot say what He will do, what He will do will meet our needs. 

  • And so we pray
  • And so we do His will
  • And so we speak to others
