THE WEDDING AT CANA
Read John 2:1–11
"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My time has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." John 2:4–5 NIV
* * *
Once again, Mary's soul is pierced. When Jesus was twelve, she wasn't quite ready for him to be preaching in the temple. But now that He's thirty, she must be wondering when He is going to reveal His identity–both times Jesus gives her a soft rebuke. At twelve he said; "Why were you searching for me? Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" But they did not understand what he was saying to them. (Luke 2:49–50) At thirty, he says, “Dear woman, why do you involve me?…My time has not yet come” (John 2:4)
Mary realized once again that she must quietly wait on God for His perfect timing—In fact, it was God's time, because Jesus honored his mother by performing his first public miracle at her request.
* * *
Lord, Mary is such a wonderful example of humility and love. I want to be a patient, loving mother who knows when to speak and when to be silent. I also want to wait on You to work out Your perfect plan for our family and each individual family member.
* * *
This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him. John 2:11 NKJV

Hi, Charlotte! Welcome to Thoughts! Thank you for your recent comment on an old post of mine. Yes, it has been such a long time since I was on Thoughts last! Must have been the Lord who led me here, tonight!
It is so refreshing to see posts that encourage us to seek out the One who shed His blood for our sins at Calvary! To know that Jesus arose on the 3rd day and is very much alive today, is SO AWESOME and such a comfort! I am glad to know that I am His and He is mine! May God bless you! :)

Thank you for stopping by Alice. Writing these devotional posts have been such a blessing to me as I have allowed the Lord to speak to my heart - and so much more to have this way of sharing with others. I would never have dreamed when I started out writing years ago that there would be a way to share with people all over the world just by sitting at my desk!
