ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 18TH JANUARY 2024.
One of the biggest challenges to our faith as Christians is the challenge of obedience. Yet Scriptures have made it very clear that the blessings of the Lord will always be a reward for our obedience. Our passage today tells us of a dicey situation.
At this wedding where Jesus, his disciples, and his mother were present on invitation, the wine suddenly ran out. But thank God, Jesus was present! Just imagine the embarrassment if Jesus had not been around to save the day! If you have Jesus in your life, you are truly covered. When the mother of Jesus solicited for His intervention, she knew He would act. However, the obedience of the servants to Jesus’ instructions was key in bringing a solution to the problem.
Thank God these servants fully obeyed Him, even when His methods of meeting the need at hand were quite strange and unexpected. Many times, God’s instructions to us can be strange, unexpected, hard and even seemingly irrational.
Our willingness to trust His love, faithfulness and power and to fully obey whatever He tells us is what will pull us through. Quite often, we hear God’s word and are not willing to obey because it makes us uncomfortable. God’s instructions do not come to make us comfortable, but to bring solutions to our problems!Do whatever He tells you!
PRAYER: Almighty God, please give me grace to always act in total obedience to Your word. Amen.
