“His mother said to the servants, “whatever He says to you, do it” (John  2:5).

As you begin the new year seeking wisdom and guidance from God, He will speak  to you in diverse ways. He may speak to you through scriptures: a particular  scripture may light up before you as you study His word. He may speak to you  through messages from trusted and anointed men and women (carriers of ark)  or through counsel from other people. Whichever way He instructs you, be sure  to do exactly what He says promptly, rather than what you think is best.

At the marriage at Cana, the wine got finished, so the organizers had a problem  at hand. The problem was presented to Jesus and His mother told the servants  to do exactly what Jesus commanded. The miracle is in the obedience, and this  is where we miss it as Christians. God may stir our hearts to do things that seem  foolish to the human eye. 

Imagine asking for wine and being told to fill jars with water. Imagine needing  money for tax and being told to go to the sea and cast a hook and collect a piece  of money from the mouth of the first fish that comes up (Matt 17:27). Imagine  fishing in tested waters all night as an expert fisherman and catching nothing,  then being told to cast your net into the least likely side of the river (Luke 5:5).  Imagine been told to roll away the stone from the grave of a man who had been  dead several days and stinking, so that he could be brought back to life (John  11:39). The list is endless. 

The foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men. God’s ways are not our  ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts. Be determined to follow God’s leading  in every area of your life in this new year. Remember, the miracle is always in  the obedience and obedience begins only when you take the first step.
