12.11- Watch for the turn.

 12.11-

Watch for the turn.
We sometimes plan a big event and it is embarrassing with some mistake. I dreamed all last night about a wedding and it was mess.
Mary knew that Jesus was a special person. At age 30 most children don't want their mother telling them what to do. They ran out of wine at a wedding Jesus and Mary attended. She said, "They have no wine." Looking at him I suspect.
He said to her "My time has not yet come."
She said to the servants, "Do what He tells you."
He had them fill six water jars, 180 gallons, then there was a turn.
Turn.
The servants turned and did what He said.
He turned water into the best of wine.
He turned embarrassment into the joy of plenty.
He turns weakness into strength.
He turns problems into opportunities.
Today I will watch for Jesus pushing me to turn slow moving lines into worship and prayer. I will see Him turn anxiety into deeper trust by doing what He says.
Watch for the turn.

John 2.

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.”

“Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour 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.[b]

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 10 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.”

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.
