A Mother's Confidence

                                        John 2:5
                       "His mother saith unto the servants,
                       Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it"

        What a way to kick off a Ministry!  Having you mother asking you to help with a wine problem at a Wedding?  Well it happen to Jesus.  "They have no wine!"  So Mary addressed her Son, expecting Him to do something.  Mary didn't give Jesus much choice.  Why did she insist that Jesus do this Miracle?  Did she not want the Host to be embarrassed, because he ran out of wine?  Was Mary convinced Jesus could perform a miracle, even though up to the time no one had seen Him do such a thing?  Did she feel she would sin if she knew Jesus could do it, and did not ask Him to solve the problem?  No matter what the outcome might have been, Mary took a hand in the situation, and told the servants; "Whatsoever He says to do, do it."
        Perhaps the hole point of this event is about confidence in someone we know and trust, and believe in as well as a Mother's confidence in her Son Jesus.  Mary knew Jesus was capable of meeting all kinds of needs.  This might not have been the greatest of all needs, but Mary was sure that Jesus was interested in people's little problems as well as their big crisis.  Confidence in Jesus!  How is Yours?
