John 2:5

Inspiration
Mary, Jesus' mother, brings Jesus a problem, not a prepackaged solution. In her message, she simply expresses her concerns to Him and encourages others to follow His lead. As we pray, we sometimes forget that it is not our place to give direction to God: we can ask, but most importantly, we should listen. Despite not having all the details, Mary trusts in God's plans. As a mother, she had often pondered the gracious words and godly wisdom she had heard from the only begotten Son of the Father. During this time, she had to become aware of what we all must learn. There is an unbridgeable gap between God and man, which can only be bridged by the Lord Jesus. However, it will be accomplished in God's time and in God's way. Mary fulfilled a calling that we are all called to fulfill. Throughout her life, she has pointed others to the one and only Son of God. Rather than focusing on herself, she directed their attention towards the Lord Jesus Christ. While she diminished in self-importance, she elevated the sinless Son of Man, the eternal Son of God, who is seated at the right hand of God the Father in heaven.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, for the remainder of my life, I pray for a heart of obedience. In all that I say and do, help me keep my eyes on Jesus and direct others to Him instead of myself. May I understand Who You truly are and what You have done for me by becoming a part of this race of fallen men. We are grateful to You for your righteousness, which clothed us in a robe of redemption.
