Never has the need to get, obey and act on a divine instruction been so crucial as it is today. Like in the story of the wedding in Cana, where the wine ran out early, many of us of ran out of ideas, to govern our lives and advance our causes. The resources available to us seem to be depleting faster then it took to get them, and nothing we ever try seem to yield any results or get us out of the woods. Like the newly wed, our wine has ran out! Pitiable and incontrovertible reality hitting home on all fronts and rendering us helpless.
Jesus comes onboard the scene where the wine had ran out, and His first instruction was, "Fill the waterpots with water." It suggests a call to immediate action. You can't run out of stuff and stay idle; don't run out of stock and not make efforts at replenishing. And of all things to use, he says, "water." Water is symbolic of the Word of God. It's a wonder today that each time we run into troubles, the word of God is never our first resort. When you're filled up with the water of God's word, you'll never run out, Jesus was teaching them because His word is a lamp to our feet and light to our path (Psalm 119: 105).
