Do What He Tells You  

   “His mother said to the servers, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’” (John 2: 5) 

   The words of our Blessed Mother to the servers at the wedding in Cana are the same words she speaks to us today.  If we, like the servers, do whatever Jesus tells us, we too may see miracles before our very eyes.

   It seems easy enough, just do what Jesus tells us and we will spend eternity with Him in heaven.  But what He tells us isn’t always what we want, we may not understand His purpose.  Still, if it is Christ’s will, it can only be for our good.  And He will never ask what we cannot do.

   When we are asked to do something difficult and hard we often consider it impossible, we resist and complain.  We may turn to Him and say that it is more than we can bear; why have you asked this of me?  Yet there is nothing that can’t be done with the help of God.  Jesus’ reply to us might be, “For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”  (Matt 19: 26)

   It just takes trust and faith in God to step forward and begin even the hardest of tasks.  Though we may think it impossible and unfair, as we proceed we will find that it was indeed possible.  We just needed to trust in God to see it through.  Relying on our own abilities we might fail, but with the strength of God nothing is impossible.
