Most of us are very familiar with God’s process. We know that His process can take months, years, and sometimes decades to be completed. However, there is another side to the kingdom of God. God is also the God of suddenly and immediately. He can make something happen when in the natural, it should have taken a long time. Sometimes, God works through miracles and something happens that humanly is impossible to happen so fast.
Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!” John 2:6-10
In the above scripture, Jesus turns the water into wine. For the wine to ferment, it would take at least months. Some wines take years to become rich in flavor, but Jesus was able to do this Immediately. His miracle allowed water that is clear and flavorless to become wine that is rich in color, flavor, and potency.
Sometimes, when we look at the circumstances of our lives, we see ourselves without flavor or color. We perceive ourselves as incapable and unskilled. For instance, we may desire to apply for a job but don’t feel qualified. At other times, we may feel pressed for time. It feels like the resolution to the problem is impossible in a timely manner. For example, we may desire to have children but we are getting too old. We may desire to see a miracle in a situation, but time is running out.
God is the master of impossibilities. He has the power and capability to work suddenly in your situation. What naturally may take months or years to see a resolution, God is able to do immediately. Praise God that we have a God who works miracles on behalf of His children.
Today, submit the problem to Him. Recognize that He is bigger than your situation. Give thanks for what He already has done in your life, and trust Him for His miraculous touch upon your situation.
