the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, Jesus' mother was there. were also invited to the wedding Jesus and his disciples.
When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said: They have no wine.
Woman, what does that have to do with me? Jesus replied. Not yet my time.
His mother told the servants: Do whatever he tells you.
Now there were six stone water jars, of which the Jews used in purification ceremonies. Each could hold one hundred liters.
Jesus told the servants, "Fill the jars with water. The jars had been filled to the brim.
Now draw a bit and take it to the master of ceremonies told Jesus. They did.
The master of the banquet tasted the water into wine without knowing where it came from, although they knew the servants who had drawn the water. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, "Everyone serves the best wine first, and when the guests have well drunk, then used the cheapest, but you've saved the best until now. (John 2:1-10)
few years ago I shared this passage from the pulpit writing, which talks about the first miracle of Jesus, the Word shows us how he responds to an urgent need for the best way, perhaps we could think that there is a great miracle compared to what he would do later, without But I think partly it reveals the attitude of Jesus to the needs of man, he turns water into wine and thus fills a need, but let's see which way he fills these needs.
Jesus after turning water into wine is put to the test, says take it to the master of ceremonies, not knowing where it came from the impact test and goes where the husband and says, kept the good wine the end, the Bible does not say what was the response of the husband, but it probably also had some surprise at this fact.
Jesus turning water into wine, to meet that need, not just wine, but it became the became the best wine, and Jesus responded to the needs at that time and so does today, at the time fair and the best answer.
But I take the liberty to draw a parallel with our attitude today, how many times we turn to God in prayer and then began a brief greeting to our list of needs or requests and please do not misunderstand, not I say we can not do, but the issue is How do we do?, Often dare to suggest the answer to our request, an attitude very different from what we see for example the mother of Jesus, she turned to see the problem your child knowing that he could do something, but never told to do, however, and despite the way we speak to the Father, he listens to his immeasurable patience and we even answer requests, sometimes hurried to the Lord and we are waiting for our response and our time, I say something, the answer is always the perfect time.
often do not let God work his will, but we want to impose our own and we forget that God's response to our need will be the best, like wine, was the best, we forget to do what his mother at the wedding in Cana, submit to his will and have faith.
I tell them that God wants to give us a PERFECT RESPONSE TO OUR NEEDS, why not try it, when you converse with him say, Lord this is my problem, my need, you have the best solution to me I have some, but only you have that perfect, you work in the perfect tense and the perfect solution and always remember that what we think may be a delay in his mercy does not mean a rejection of our prayers, every time need to deliver a remember that the Lord wants to give you the best wine, just waiting "THE PERFECT RESPONSE TO OUR NEEDS JESUS"
