Do you need a miracle?
'WHATSOEVER HE SAITH UNTO YOU, DO IT.' JOHN 2:5
The first miracle Jesus worked was at a wedding. When sending out invitations these newlyweds had the good sense to send one to Jesus. Do you need a miracle today? Invite Jesus, listen carefully to what He tells you and do it! Jesus told them to pour water into empty wine containers. It didn't make sense.
But then neither does walking round the walls of Jericho seven times, or rubbing clay on a blind man's eyes. Yet the walls of Jericho came down and the blind man received his sight. That day at the wedding Jesus said in essence, 'Give me what you've got and I'll give you back what you need!' And it still works that way.
It's called the harvest law: 'Whoever sows generously will also reap generously' (2 Corinthians 9:6 NIV). Jesus also knows how to fill your empty nets and get you out of debt. Look at the disciples: 'That night they caught nothing' (John 21:3). God loves to start with nothing, for then there's no doubt about who has the power and who gets the credit.
Peter knew a lot about fishing but Jesus knew a lot more; He knew where the fish were biting. Our Lord knows the right place, the right time, and the right way. So do what He tells you. If you do you'll succeed in life. Peter caught so many fish that night that he had to give some away. There it is, 'more than enough,' and it's still the way God works. First He will bless you, then He will bless others through you. But remember, the formula is always: 'Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it!'
