“Filling the “Water” first”
In John chapter 2, we can see the first miracle of Jesus that he showed in the wedding at town of Cana, Galilee. That was the wedding so they try to fill their needs. But when they started their wedding, they faced that wine was empty and they worried because they couldn’t find the wine again. They try to fill their needs, the money, the food and drink but at that time their preparation was good but something was wrong like a golfer. At that time Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the water pots with water.” (Jh 2:7) “Now dip out some water and take it to the man in charge of the feast.” (2:8) The man in charge tasted it, and said to him, “People always serve the best wine first. Later, when the guests are drunk, they serve the cheaper wine. But you have saved the best wine until now.” (Jh 2:9-10) In above golden text, we can see two parts, changing wine from water and giving the honor of the man in charge of the feast. The water means the “Words of God.”, the wine means the “Blessings.” And the master in charge of the feast means the “world.”
They prepared and filled with their taught but they faced the loss so Jesus told to fill the water first. But nowadays, there are many believers who fill their needs with their desires and taught first. So care not to face like the wedding at the Cana, Galilee. When some people hear that words, “Filling the words God”, they miss understand the meanings of this sentence. In the Bible, “What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need”(Mt 6:33)So some people attend the seminary and first find the words of God and some people taught that if we don’t have enough food for us, we can’t do the words of God so we must fill first our needs. This is false.
In our life we must fill “Water, the words of God” first then the words of God will instruct and guide us how we can get the blessing in our life and how can we find the wills of God and how we can know what is right and wrong and what are dos and don’ts. This is the real meaning of the scriptures. But we miss and we fill first with our views and our taught. In the wedding at the Cana, Galilee, Jesus told to fill the “Water, words of God” first and the water change to “wine, the blessings” and the master in charge of the feast gave the honor. Like that in our life we must fill first with “Water, words of God” and we will get many “Wine, the blessings” and “The master in charge of the feast, the world” will give the honor. But if we fill first other things, other laws and our desires, we can face like the wedding and can worry. So we must fill first the “Water, the words of God” and walk with the guide of the words of God and take many blessings from God. “But anyone who is joined with the Lord is one with him in spirit.” (1 Cor 6:17)
Dear friend, did you fill the water first in your life?
