Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. John 2:11
Danny DeVito grew up in New Jersey. Diminutive, balding and round with a strong Jersey accent he became a cosmetician in his sister’s Beauty Parlor. A series of events led him to the New York stage to be a make-up artist. He was cast in the hit TV series Taxi as the unlikeable dispatcher. In spite of what seem like insurmountable odds, DeVito became a fan favorite, a Hollywood star, a director, a producer and ultimately the owner of his own film production company. As Christians, we should live a faith that constantly reassures us that anything is possible.
Wine is made from grapes. It is 80 to 85% water but that water comes from grape juice. So technically wine is mostly water even though none of us can make water into wine. Jesus took this fact and ignored the science and turned water into wine. In like manner everyone who gives their life to Christ becomes a Christian. God can take that and create every kind of success imaginable. The Christian must have the fundamental understanding that no matter what our talent or lack thereof is, God provides the increase. We must believe that he can make a profound difference in the life of the believer whether it is us or someone else, in spite of what we or they have done previously.
Pray today that you don’t fall into the trap of limiting God’s ability to transform you, the situation or others into a demonstration of God’s power and love.
