In our message today we look at Jesus’ first miracle – turning water into wine. Our focus is not so much on the miracle as it is on the conversation Jesus had with Mary. When Mary brought the problem to Jesus – ‘they’ve run out of wine’, Jesus listened with discernment. He was aware of Mary’s concern but he was also aware of His priorities. He understood the embarrassment and guilt that could come upon the wedding party if they run out of wine – but he also understood what was most important. Mary told the servants to “do whatever he (Jesus) tells you to do”. She was willing to ask anything – but also willing to yield everything. As followers of Jesus, we need to be willing to ask. God wants us to bring our requests to Him – but we also must be willing to yield to His will. Ask anything – yield everything! Personal Reflection: Is there an area of my life I haven't fully yielded to God? What is that area? How will I respond?
