Whatever He Says To You, Do It.

I found myself singing Lauren Daigle's song "Look Up Child" this evening. Despite struggling to recall some of the lyrics, when I reached the solo, "Where are you now when all I feel is down?" and sang the chorus, "Ah, ah, I hear you say, look up child," it became deeply personal and emotional as if God was speaking directly to me.

When I sang those lyrics boldly, they resonated with my current situation. I've been asking the Lord, "Where are you now?" and seeking a word from Him to confirm that He hears me. It's as if I'm checking to see if our "connection" is still intact.

This experience felt connected to the words I had read earlier that morning while studying the book of John: "Whatever He says to you, do it?" (John 2:2-5). 

2 AMP:Jesus also was invited with His disciples to the wedding.

3 AMP:And when the wine was all gone, the mother of Jesus said to Him, They have no more wine!

4 AMP:Jesus said to her, [Dear] woman, what is that to you and Me? [What do we have in common? Leave it to Me.] My time (hour to act) has not yet come.

5 AMP:His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do it.

Jesus was at a wedding, and when the wine ran out, His mother, Mary, told the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it."

Mary spoke with confidence in Jesus' ability and assignment. Although she may not have seen a physical manifestation of His power yet, she trusted that Jesus could meet their needs exactly where they were. Her instruction to the servants was a declaration of faith, saying, "I don't know what needs refilling, but Jesus can satisfy you."

If I were one of the servants, I might have questioned or tasted the water before serving it. However, there are moments when we don't need to see the bigger picture or understand how everything fits together. We simply need to obey and do the last thing He asked us to do.

What about when we wonder how something can be possible? As long as we offer Jesus what we have; it could be just our life or maybe the moments – even if it seems insignificant – He can transform it into something extraordinary. As you go about your day today, Look up to Jesus and present Him with the "water" you have in your hands. There is a wine to go around.
