DAILY?READINGS: Judges 9 to 10:5; Isaiah 30; 1 Corinthians 9:1-23

 

Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.    John 2:5

 

Mary knew that the joy and blessing of this marriage feast was dependent on Jesus. For this to become a reality the servants had to do what He told them to do. Obedience to His commands is a prerequisite to every joy and blessing. The words of Jesus, “Fill the waterpots with water,” (John 2:7). was not just good advice; it was essential for the blessing of the marriage. It was also an opportunity for the disciples to prove their obedience. “They filled them up to the brim” (John 2:7). Here is an abiding principle, “Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.”     —Milton Haack

 

There is a place of quiet rest, near to the heart of God.
A place where sin cannot molest, near to the heart of God.
O Jesus, blest Redeemer, sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee, near to the heart of God. —C. D. McAfee
