The Greatest Advice From The Greatest Mother

In John 2:5, the mother of Jesus, Mary, gave the greatest advice in the history of humanity. If we applied it as a principle in our life we would see our lives transformed and our world impacted with the power of God. Mary gave the servants at the wedding in Cana in Galilee some powerful instructions that we would all do well to follow...

"Whatever Jesus tells you to do. Do it." (NASB)

It gives us pause to ask three important questions...

1. Am I open to do whatever Jesus tells me to do?
2. Am I listening for what Jesus wants me to do?
3. Am I willing to do what He says?

If we will follow what Mary said we may experience the miracle of God in our lives just like those servants did in the wedding at Cana.

I like the way you emphasized certain words in that verse during your talk Sunday morning. For instance, you mentioned "DO" - not just hear and acknowledge - and "WHATEVER" - not just what appeals to us. I think another word to land on would be "YOU". In the NKJV, the verse reads, "...whatever He says to you, do it." God may have plans that you like for this person and that person, but his plans for YOU may be different. Following this, I think, is just as important.
