The servants knew

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) John 2:9

The other day, I realized that I had not done a blog post in a couple of weeks.  I wondered what was going with God or what was going on with me ??  No spiritual life lessons, no movement from Him, I noticed,  and no Ford pickup experiences, which is the usual for me.  A cold dim sadness had crept in unaware to me.  Life has a way of doing this, the secular life of work and making a living.  Also, the family, where I am a Husband to my wife and a Father to my son, of which, I am very thankful.
But I needed to hear from God !!  So before going to sleep, as my wife had already crashed for the night, as she has to wake up earlier than I do, I reached for the bible to hear from the Lord.  My hands seem to turn the pages of the large print New Testament bible, of which I needed the reading glasses anyway, and I came to John chapter 2.

Really I wanted to re-read how Jesus was there for the marriage in Cana of Galilee, showing His approval of a husband & wife marriage, even in that day. And then . . . the words jumped right at me, "the servants  . . . knew"  WOW, talk about been there done that !!  Not that I have seen water turned into wine (grape juice) but what the servants saw and experienced.   You see they started with water and it became wine.  The servants knew !!

It's just like the Lord to take the normal and change it into something great. He changed the water into wine !!  The servants brought water pots (jars) which was not exactly a super task, perhaps boring and trivial, but then "He changed the water into wine" and the servants knew it !!
I love it when the Lord takes the little things and make a big thing out of it.  To take a common thing and make a big thing out of it.  Praise the Lord, the servants knew !! and saw what had happened.
I want to be there when the Lord takes the common and makes it big.  That's Him, that's how He works.  May we learn from the great miracle of the turning the water into wine (grape juice) :-)
There's the lesson for the servants and for those who were in need which He provided for them.
There are indeed, many lessons here, but for me, it blessed me to realize "the servants knew"

But dear friend, you can know Him too.  And that is to be saved, be born again, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved !!
For with the Heart men believes unto salvation, PTL !!

(see 1John, these things were written that you might know) PTL !!

God Bless you,
