Today’s Devotional
In the story of the wedding at Cana, we see Jesus’ first recorded miracle as He turns water into wine. It’s an account that demonstrates not only Jesus’ divine power but also the faith and trust of Mary, Jesus’ mother. When the wine runs out at the wedding, Mary turns to Jesus for help, confident that He can provide a solution.
This passage serves as a reminder of the importance of faith and trust in Jesus. Mary’s faith was strong enough to believe that Jesus could remedy the situation, even though He had not yet performed any public miracles. Her confidence in Jesus is a model for us, showing how we can turn to Jesus in our times of need, trusting that He will provide for us.
