Then he told them, "How draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. John 2:8-9a
How would it feel if you were asked to do something that seemed impossible?
Jesus told the servant at the wedding in Cana to draw from a jar that he had just filled with water and take it to the master of the banquet. If I were that servant, I would have been more than a little nervous. He must have been thinking, "This is water! The master of the banquet is going to be rather upset, and who do you think will catch the brunt of it? Certainly not this man from Nazareth!"
But we know what happened. The water had miraculously turned into wine. What a relief it must have been. What faith it took to say to the master of the banquet, "Sir, take a drink of this."
Lord, I feel like every day is filled with impossible things. You ask me to live a life that glorifies You. But with my human nature, it is a miracle that I don't ruin Your reputation on a daily basis. The truth of the matter is: turning from sin in our own strength is impossible. The only hope we have is the power - the miracle - of the Holy Spirit.
Help me to have faith, Lord - faith to walk in the truth that every day is a miracle in small, subtle ways. Help me to make the right choices and to say to those who thirst for You, "Take a drink. You will never thirst again!"
