Let it be.

Every week I get an e-mail from Mark, who is a pastor and joined staff with me last January, with an encouraging verse and commentary. Last week's e-mail was labeled 'saving the best.' John 2 tells us of Jesus' first miracle- the wedding at Cana, which everyone knows, and is a pretty great one. It totally shows his character.

He turned water into wine. I mean, come on. He's trying to tell us something. The waiter says:

"Everyone brings out the choice wine first
and then the cheaper wine after the guests
have had too much to drink; but you have
saved the best till now." (John 2:10 NIV)

Jesus supplies wine that is better than the guests expected. And, he gives a LOT of it, not just enough to get by. He doesn't want me to scrape by in life.

So, great. What do we do about it?

I guess in this instance, we do nothing. It's so easy to make things happen for ourselves. In Chad's bible study this week, we talked about Abraham and Sara. God tells Abe he will bless the world through him- he tells him to count the stars, and so shall his descendants be. They took things into their own hands when the Mrs. suggests Abe sleep with Hagar. Not cool. But they can't wait.

God does not disappoint. Well, sometimes we think he does because we don't get what we want...but that topic is for another day.
