Do Whatever He Tells You

His mother said to the servants,

“Do whatever he tells you.” John 2:5

How much do you trust Jesus? I mean seriously, how much do you trust him? Do you trust him enough to do whatever he says, no matter the apparent consequences?

Let’s look at an example of trust.

For some reason, Mary had some authority at this wedding. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t have known about the wine shortage. Some think this was John the Baptist’s wedding and that Mary was helping with the plans for her cousin Elizabeth. We just don’t know.

What we do know is that when Mary and the newlyweds were faced with the major embarrassment of running out of wine, Mary brought the problem to Jesus.

Her terse, do whatever he tells you to the servants tells us all we need to know about her faith.

Mary didn’t know what, if anything, Jesus would do. But she did know that whatever he did would be enough.

That’s what trust is: It’s not necessarily knowing what Jesus is going to do. It’s rather trusting that whatever he does it will be enough.

So let me ask again: Do you trust Jesus? Do you need to know what he is going to do? Or, do you trust him enough to leave a matter in his hands through prayer and trust that whatever he does will be good and enough.

That’s faith, and it’s what Jesus wants from all those who follow him.

Do whatever he tells you.

Today practice having a whatever he tells you kind of faith. Don’t negotiate. Don’t ask for details. Don’t demand a plan. Don’t look for a Plan B.

Just obey. Just do whatever he tells you.

It will be good. It will be enough.
