FAITH CAPSULE: <\/b>Whatever He says do without questioning Him.<\/p>\n
John 2:1-12<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
It is written, <\/i><\/b>\u201cHas the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.\u201d<\/i><\/b> (1 Samuel 15:22)<\/i><\/b>Obeying God\u2019s word is taken step not to despise God. To disobey what the word is saying is to be setting one up for destruction. Proverbs 13:13 stated, \u201cHe who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.\u201d<\/i><\/b> Engaging God\u2019s command will save life. Also, it is the evidence of trusting in God and what He can do. Obeying the word of God is what marks man as being faithful. Are you constantly obeying the Word of God? Prayer for today:<\/b> Ask for the grace to be constantly obedient to His command.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FAITH CAPSULE: Whatever He says do without questioning Him.

\nJ<\/strong>ohn 2:1-2 <\/i><\/b>stated, \u201c\u2026<\/i><\/b>there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.\u00a0 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.\u201d<\/i><\/b> <\/i><\/b>A wedding with Jesus as a guest of honor is set not to be harassed by shame. Have you invited Jesus into your marriage or your life? Despite the fact that Jesus was there, shame showed up at the wedding to discolor the wedding when there was no more wine to serve. At that wedding in Cana of Galilee, the mother of Jesus approached Jesus for intervention that would save the wedding celebration from shame for lack of wine. Jesus responded to His mother\u2019s call for intervention, \u201c\u2026Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.\u201d<\/i><\/b> (John 2:4) <\/i><\/b>Jesus\u2019 response was not discouraging to the mother of Jesus. She rather encouraged the servants at the wedding with her response in John 2:5. \u201cHis mother said to the servants, \u201cWhatever He says to you, do it.\u201d<\/i><\/b> What is in the word of God that is missing in your situation because of your disobedience?
\nIf you will take an honest search within yourself, there is a step out of your situation by obeying what He has said to you in His word. John 2:7, \u201cJesus said to them, \u201cFill the waterpots with water.\u201d And they filled them up to the brim.\u201d <\/i><\/b>The servants were obedient by doing exactly what Jesus instructed them. Can you state with confidence that you are doing all according to His word (His commands)? Jesus commanded them to fill all the empty gallons of wine while there was nothing to show for. Disciples did not question His command as they filled the waterpots to the brink. As a result of the disciple\u2019s obedience, the wedding took a new turn. Be obedient to God\u2019s word and Let His command rule in every area of your life.<\/p>\n
