Water into wine

John 2 is the chapter when Jesus turns the water into wine.  2:4 "Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the Jars with water; so they filled them to the brim. 9 Then He told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.  He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.  Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."    Jesus turned water into wine the first of His miraculous signs.    When I first quit drinking I told myself when Jesus turns this water into wine I'll drink it.  Because of this miracle, I started trusting Jesus in my sobriety.  When I first quit.  I really wanted the wine but I knew it was destroying my life and I could not keep going the way I was, so trusting God to turn water into wine if I was ment to drink, helped me.   Today, as I read this chapter, I thought,  I still trust him in my sobriety but why do I try to fix everything else?  I can't turn water into wine, not do I want to.    I can't fix many things, but I can TRUST His hand is on it all and I can pray. Two things really jumped out at me this morning 1.  The servants did as Jesus said, 2 Jesus made the water into even better wine than the original.    Today know…..He can do it and He can do it way better then we can.    Let’s just do what He says, to the best of our abilities.   We’ll mess up, but we can keep turning to Him and He’ll keep turning our water into wine(So to speak). Personally I hope there isn’t wine in Heaven I’ve learned to really really prefer life without it!!๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ™♥️
