Obedience

One day God gave a task to a man. The Lord showed him a large boulder and told the man to push it with all his might.

For months the man kept pushing, not a single rock moved. Exhausted and desperate, the man protested, “Lord, I have used all my strength, but look, this stone has not moved. Why did I fail?” God replied, “My son, I only told you to push the rock and not move it. Now you thought you had failed. But now look at you. Your arms and muscles have become strong.You really cannot move the stone because I call you to obey to do My will, and to prove your faith. It is I who will move the stone. !”

The waiter at the wedding at Cana probably thought like the man above when he ran out of wine. Jesus commanded them to fill the jars, usually reserved for the washing of feet, with water! They may wonder because they cannot understand the strange commandment, but they remember Mary’s message, “What (Jesus) said to you, do it!” They also obeyed when Jesus asked to scoop up the water in the jar and bring it to the master of the feast. The rest is Jesus at work!

Yes, God only asks us to obey His word. The result is God at work. Whatever results He makes, always brings glory to Him. Remember, obedience to God’s commands is our part. About the results, it becomes God’s part.
