Be part of the solution

John 2:¹On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. ²Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. ³When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." ⁴And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come." ⁵His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

Jesus' first miracle was at a wedding in his home town. Mary, Jesus' mother tells Jesus that they ran out of wine at the wedding. Jesus tells her that his hour of crucifixion had not yet come. He asks her what the wine running out had to do with him. Really, it didn't have anything to do with Jesus. He does this miracle, I think, out of honoring his mother. Mary understood that Jesus was special. She also knew that He would do something about it since she brought it up.

Well, I think I might be making observations that are in my own opinion. I really do want to know more about Jesus and so I'm going to pray right now for the Holy Spirit to reveal to me the truth.
Heavenly Father, please send Your Holy Spirit to bring revelation to me about Jesus Christ, Your Son. Lord, I know that there is wisdom in Your Word and that Jesus is the key to knowing You better. Please help clear my head of distractions and keep my focus fixed on You. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Jesus helped others even when it was something that didn't have anything to do with Him. It wasn't Jesus' fault the wine ran out. It wasn't His wedding. He wasn't the banquet manager. He was a guest just like everyone else. However, Jesus was completely obedient to His Heavenly Father and his earthly mother. I want to be more like Jesus. People are going to come to me for prayer, help, advice, etc. and it may not have anything to do with me but, I need to honor my Heavenly Father. So often, I shrug off helping someone else as, "Well, that's not my problem." The truth is, it may not be my problem, but I can be part of the solution. That is what Jesus is doing. Jesus is part of the solution. It wasn't His fault the world had become fallen and corrupt, but He is part of the solution. He paid the price with His own life so that we may have a way to our Heavenly Father in eternity. So, I need to think of how I can be part of the solution instead of complaining about problems.

Oh Father in Heaven. You are Holy and Mighty. I ask for Your forgiveness of my sins. I've been lazy in taking the time to devote to You. I've also allowed a lot of the fallen world to enter my eyes and ears today and it makes me get distracted from thinking about Jesus. Please save me. Empty my mind of all the trash and renew it with the Holy Spirit. Lord, please show me how I can be part of the solutions in this life. Please show me my purpose for each minute. Lord, may I fear You and treasure every second that You give me. Help me to not be so selfish. I love You, Lord. I pray for Your protection over Lion and Hanzo. Lord, please restore health and joy to my parents, my brother, and my in laws. May they come to know You through our lives' testimony. Please help me to be the mother You have in mind for me. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
