John 2:1-11
"On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 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."
His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."
They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."
This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him."
What will you do when the wine runs out and your mother comes to you wanting you to do something about it? Will your response be to do what the Father wants or will it be to act out of fear? How will you respond when a demand is put on you that is out of your reach? Will you be ready?
Jesus prayed and fasted as a lifestyle and not just when he found out that there was a boy who had a demon that didn't want to leave at the disciples' commands. Will you be ready when someone comes to you and needs a breakthrough in an impossible circumstance? Be ready for the opportunities that God gives you. Be ready to release the Kingdom anytime, anywhere. Your time has come! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, will you seize the opportunity?
