Whatever He says to you, do it. John 2:5 NKJV
The wine had run out at the wedding reception! Mary’s last recorded words were wisely heeded by the servants. However, think of how easily those servants could have rationalized their way out of obeying Jesus’s command. “Fill them with…water? They ran out of wine, not water!” “Wine takes time. And we don’t have time to waste!” “You want us to carry enough water to fill those six waterpots—about 120 gallons?” On and on those servants could have argued that Jesus’s way of doing things made no sense. But instead, they simply obeyed. And as they did, the miracle happened. And so it will be for us. What command is Jesus directing your heart to obey today? “Whatever He
says, do it”, and He will bless. —Brian Cretney
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way,
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. —John H. Sammis
