[Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: God has saved the best for the last

Read: JOHN 2:1-11

Meditation verse:

“You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance” (Psalm 65:11).

There was a wedding celebration in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. Whilst the celebration was still ongoing, the wine supply ran out. The problem was presented to Jesus. Initially Jesus said His time had not yet come but eventually He turned six pots of water into the sweetest wine anyone had ever tasted. The master of the feast upon tasting the wine said to the bridegroom, “everyone sets out the good wine at the beginning of the feast, but you have kept the best wine until now.

Jesus Christ, the Chief Bridegroom, and Master planner of your life has kept the best part of the year and indeed your life until now. Wherever you have experienced lack, setbacks, emptiness, frustrations, and loss in the past, set out your six empty waterpots of stone because the tides are about to be turned in your favour. If you have invited Him into your life, just as He was invited to the wedding celebration, He will fill your emptiness and lack with sweet wine. Psalm 65:11-13 says, “You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance. They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered with grain; they shout for joy, they also sing”.

Do not cast away your confidence. Everything will be alright in the end, if it is not alright now then it is not the end. You have your whole life ahead of you. God is saying ‘do not put a fool stop to what life put a comma’. Your life will end on a high note. “The end of a thing is better than its beginning; the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools. Do not say, ‘Why were the former days better than these?’ For you do not inquire wisely concerning this” (Ecclesiastes 7:8-10).

You must however believe that it will turn out so for you, or it will not. It’s always a case of “be it done to you according to your faith”.
