Story from John 2:1-10
4 “How does that concern you and me?” Jesus asked. “My time has not yet come.”
5 But his mother told the servants, “do whatever he tells you.”
Verses 4-5
What Scripture tells us:
It looks like Jesus is not going to do anything about the problem.
What we would do:
When we don’t get our prayers answered right away or in the way we
think they should be answered we loose our faith in God and His
promises. We turn away from Him and think, and say, that prayer (our request for God to fix our
problem) doesn’t work.
What Mary did:
Mary told the servants to “Do whatever he tells you.” She prepared them to receive instructions from
Jesus. She knew who Jesus was.
What God wants us to learn from this:
Trust God for the timing and the way He will answer your prayers. Be prepared to receive instruction.
How do you react when it doesn’t seem that God is hearing your prayers? Do you continue believing and listening for His voice? There may be instructions coming before your answer arrives.

I believe God always answers our prayers, but often the answers are "no" or "wait." Looking back, "no" was the best answer He could give, though I did not know it at the time.
Good series...
