From the Pastor - Oct. 17th, 2021

Life certainly is a process, isn’t it? How many times have I wished I could just grow to my maximum capacity and be done with it. But life, and especially the Christian life, just doesn’t work that way.

So think this through with me. Jesus asks for all 6 stone jars to be filled with water, which was potentially 180 gallons. This water was used for purification and the cleansing of the Jewish hands and feet. Let’s just say the pots were even half full (although they may have been completely empty). We know that from where the wedding took place to where Cana’s well was located, up on a hill, was approximately 400 yards.

Just think of the process for this miracle to occur. Let’s say they needed 100 gallons of water to fill the pots. And let’s say there were 5 servants to fetch the water. So each servant carries 20 gallons 4 football fields maybe 10 times - how exhausted were they?
But this was all part of the process. Just think how they rejoiced after tasting some of that incredible wine, knowing that they played a role in this miracle. And life is like that. Sometimes we are given an instantaneous miracle…and sometimes it’s like a healing. It’s a long and difficult journey, designed to grow our faith, and make us skilled sailors who navigate well the waters of life. “Smooth waters never make skilled sailors.”

So again, no matter how tough times get - TRUST THE PROCESS! More than that, trust the One who is navigating you through the process so that we become the best we could possibly become.

Blessings,
Randy & Pam
