When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, “Every man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.” John 2:9, 10

Lord it was time for everyone to see a miracle and to know who You truly were. This steward was questioning the bridegroom and asking why he would save the best wine until last.

Thank You Lord for miracles.

Thank You that nothing is impossible for You.

Thank You for caring about all that happens in our lives even to the point of changing water into wine.

He (Jesus) said to them, (servants at the wedding feast) “Now draw some out and take it to the steward of the feast.” So they took it. John 2:8

Did they notice that the water had been changed into wine? Was it still water as they took it? When did it become wine?

Lord I don’t know the answer to these questions and they really don’t matter. As the story unfolds we will all read about the miracle that happened that day.

Thank You Lord that John wrote about Your life.

Thank You that he shows us the miracle of that day.

Thank You for servants that did exactly what You asked them to do.

They were the winners Lord and we too are winners when we do what You ask of us.

Thank You for asking us Lord.
