Trust the Process

Today, I would like to pull another nugget out of John 2:6-11...

Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “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.” What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

In order for the water to be turned into wine, faith had to be present. In simple terms, someone had to trust Jesus. So, Jesus asked the servants to take what was in the pot and give it to the master of the feast. Well, the servants knew exactly what was in the pots, “water”, because they put the water in the pots. Did the servants go back and forth was Jesus, saying, "this just doesn't make sense." No, the servants trusted that Jesus knew what He was doing and obeyed the command. Now, they had no chance to validate the transformation of water into wine with their natural senses. But at some instance, from the water pot to the master’s cup, the water became wine. You have to trust the process. If you will believe the Word of the Lord and step out in faith, you will experience the miraculous.
