Failure overturned!
Verse for Today: Thursday, December 26, 2013
John 2:3 – When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine”.
Shortages, deficiencies and crises usually occur in life. Often we are embarrassed at deficiencies at sensitive times when we are unable to do anything about it. We might be forced to look at possible sources of help and support. But often these sources frustrate us. But we can go to Jesus who is capable and willing to handle all our difficult situations all the time. Bit we must invite Him into our situations and tell Him our needs. We must give Him full charge of our affairs. When we thus make Him the Lord of our lives and situations, He comes to take charge to rule and overrule our worst scenarios for our joy and His glory. But we must also understand that even before we tell Him, He knows what our needs are. That doesn’t mean that we do not tell Him. We have to make Him the Lord of our needs and surrender our needs and situations to Him to act according to His will. If we think that we can handle it ourselves, we should not expect Him to act in our situations. Jesus works for us when we make Him the Lord of all our situations. But our Lord is very patient and sympathetic with our weaknesses. So even after we handle our situations and fail, we can still go to Him. He will forgive our failures and take our lives to reshape it for His glory. When we submit our needs into His care, He will act at the right time to solve our problems and meet our needs. He will also transform our situations as a platform to glorify His name and fill us with His joy. Are we not fortunate to have such a wonderful Lord in our lives to go to Him to meet all our routine and emergency needs?
