His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever
He tells you.” —John 2:5
In John 2:5, Mary tells the servants to obey Jesus’ commands, even if they do so without understanding His ultimate plan. The servants filled the pots with water, failing to understand how it would help their situation. Jesus had a plan all along and miraculously turned the water into wine. Today’s verse reminds us to trust in God’s plans. Even if we don’t see the reason behind His commands, we must have faith that He knows what’s best for us.
The Lord may have reasons for things in your life beyond what you can possibly imagine. The Bible teaches us to always have faith in the ways of the Lord and to trust that He knows what’s best for us. As Christians, we know this to be true. As humans, it can be difficult to “blindly” trust in what God has in store for us. However, we must humble ourselves and follow His guidance without question.
Don’t question the reasonableness of God’s commands. If you feel your life is spinning out of control, remind yourself that it’s all happening for a reason. Even if you can’t foresee the meaning behind your daily trials and triumphs, know in your heart that God wouldn’t lead you astray. We must invite Christ through prayer, and do as He pleases. When you pray for something and don’t get the result you want, realize that this is for a reason.
In all things, God is in control. We must not question God’s methods, even when we can’t fathom the reason behind certain events in our lives. It can be difficult to cope with difficult times and believe it’s for the best. But we have to have faith that God will turn our water into wine if we trust in Him.
