February 17
"And
when they ran out of wine,
the mother
of Jesus said to him,
'They have no
wine.' Jesus said to her,
'Woman,
what does your concern
have to do with me? My hour has not yet
come.'”
John 2:3-4
My hour
has not yet come...
Our works were prepared for us from before
the foundation of the world, therefore it is vitally important that
they take place when God has set THE TIME for each of of them.
"For
we are his workmanship,
created in
Christ Jesus for good works,
WHICH
GOD PREPARED BEFOREHAND
that we
should walk in them."
Ephesians
2:10
There are works of gold, silver, and precious stone, but
there are also works of wood, hay, and stubble. The works initiated
by God will be gold, but the works initiated by ourselves will be
stubble.
It's so very important to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy
Spirit. He will open up opportunities in which we are to work, an
opportunity to reach someone's heart. If we wait upon him for the
right time, it will result in a work of gold, but if not, the work
will be shown to be stubble. Those works, though good, will be
revealed to be useless because they were the result of our emotion,
not the result of the moving of the Holy Spirit.
Pray with
me:
Father, teach me to be very
sensitive to your leading. We tend to go ahead of you and try to make
things happen, then wonder why we didn't succeed. Help me wait for
the right time to speak or to act, the time you chose before the
foundation of the world, that I might glorify your Name in every
successful work as it becomes so obvious that it was initiated by
you. In Jesus's Name I ask. Amen
