Lessons From A Wedding














I recently spent a few days studying the Scripture passage in John 2:1-12 on the wedding at Cana where Jesus turns water to wine. As the passage is relatively long, I won't type the whole thing out here. Instead, listed below are some basic principles that I've been reminded of through studying this section along with the verse where each principle is found. I pray you would use this as a springboard to dig into the Word to uncover these riches of truths for yourself.

* Run to the Source when in need of help, not substitutes. (vs. 3)
* When reproofed, don't argue - keep quiet - and count it a kindness. (vs. 4)
* Ask for the blessings, but let Him provide in the way He desires. (vs. 5)
* Whatever He says to do, do it! (vs. 5)
* Don't worry if no one knows your good deeds - trust God to do with them what He desires. (vs. 9)
* Food and drink are gifts from God's hand - enjoy them but don't abuse them. (vs. 9-10)
* Use my gifts to bring glory to God - that others might come to Him, not for my glory but for His. (vs. 11)

The picture is breathtaking. The peace of God just settled over me as I viewed the scenery. The calm that only Christ can give. Thanks for sharing your farm.
