John 3-5

When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine." "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My time has not yet come."

We are very familiar with this story, Jesus' very first miracle, turning water into wine. We know and hear enough sermons about how God provides everything we need. Yet I think it's hard to truly believe that he does. Like we talked about before, we really like to worry. We always like to have our own safety net - bank account, insurance, etc. Those things are not bad, but God is challenging us to trust him (isn't it interesting that this took a place in a wedding?)

Today I felt so bad at work because I made mistakes - shipped wrong boxes, made an invoice with wrong price which is already paid. I felt so incompetent and asked myself and God why I am placed at my work. I think God is in the process of humbling me so I will completely trust him and not my own abilities and knowledge.

It was good to hear you say that let's trust God with our future. Yes. God always provides for our needs in his perfect time. Notice how wine Jesus made was very good? He desires to give us what is best for us. Let's continue to trust him!
