Just Do It!

Jesus said to them, Fill the waterpots with water…Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.And they took it.
John 2:7-8
At this wedding in Cana, the servants literally dished out water to serve to the master of the feast! Yet, he told the Bridegroom, You have kept the good wine until now!

In Luke 5, Jesus commandeered Peter’s boat. He said, Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch. Peter responded, At Your word I will let down the net. After Peter obeyed (albeit only halfway, since he only cast out one net), they caught so many fish, two boats began to sink!

One day, the conversation turned to whether paying taxes was right or wrong. Jesus told Peter to cast a hook into the sea and whichever fish he caught first would have a coin in its mouth to pay their taxes (Matthew 17:27). He gave Peter direction that, after Peter obeyed, brought provision.

In 2 Kings 4, a widow was deeply in debt. …Elisha said…Tell me, what do you have in the house?’ And she said…nothing…but a jar of oil.He told her to gather as many empty vessels from her neighbors as she could. After she and her sons had obeyed, the oil filled every vessel until there were none left. She sold the oil to pay off her debts, and she and her sons lived off of the rest.

Now consider when Jesus fed the 5000. He gave thanks for the little they had, and He blessed it. Then, He passed out twelve small portions to the disciples, and commanded them to feed the people. Miraculously, everyone ate until they were full, and there were 12 baskets full of leftovers!

Consider each of these stories and the actions that the Lord instructed people to take, what’s stopping you to reach your greatness?
