Bible Chapter: John 2

Because the Bible is practical, here are some statements to get you thinking.

1.  Write one or two key thoughts that come from today’s reading.
    What is too hard for God?  What causes God to scratch His head and say, “Wow, this is a tough one.  I don’t know what I will do now.”?  John chapter 2 has illustrations of the miraculous signs Jesus was doing.  He helped some people out of an embarrassing situation.  These signs confirmed Him as the Messiah.  Verse 23 says, Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did. NKJV
    Many became believers as they saw the power of the supernatural shown by Jesus.  Nothing is too hard for God.  This is still happening today.  People are seeing the supernatural power of God and believing in Him.

2.  What can I apply in my life from the reading?
    I must keep in my heart and mind that God is up to the task for anything that is needed.  He can take nothing and make something very valuable.  He can provide when there is no provision.  Jesus started His miraculous work by performing a miracle at a wedding.  His miraculous power continues today.  He is well able to supernaturally intervene in any situation.  I must continue to pray and trust Him when there seems to be no solution.  I need to trust in God’s omniscience and sovereignty.  This is a high expression of faith.  He knows perfectly what is best and His plan.  He never makes mistakes. Sometimes I would rather that He gives a different answer.  But, I will continue to trust Him knowing that He does everything well.  Now we only see partially, but some day we will see the whole picture.

3.  How can I help someone?
    Pray in faith for the needs of friends.  God comes through in amazing ways.  Pray without apology and seek God’s provision and intervention in their lives.  Pray for God to show Himself to them through His miraculous power.
