GOD CAN ACCELERATE HIS PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE
"You have kept the good wine until now!" Jn 2:10 NKJV
GOD CAN ACCELERATE HIS PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE
Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding reception. There were six waterpots, each capable of holding thirty gallons. First, He said, Fill those pots with water." Next, He said, "Take some out and bring it to the host of the party." When the host tasted it, he told the groom, "This is amazing. Everyone serves the best wine first, and after people have had a lot to drink, they bring out the less expensive wine. But you have saved the best wine for last" (See vv. 7-10 NLT). Do you know how long it takes to make wine? It begins with planting seeds, then takes several years for the vines to grow mature grapes. Then they have to be picked and processed to produce the wine. It often takes three to five years before the first wine is ready to be bottled. The better-quality wine takes five to seven years to make. And people consider the best wine to be twenty to thirty years old. Jesus produced in a moment in time what normally takes decades to produce. So if you're concerned that you don't have enough time to achieve your goals, remember that Jesus can do in a moment what might usually take years. Maybe it would typically take you twenty years to pay off your mortgage, or ten years to build your business. But God's favor can thrust you years down the road. He still turns water into wine. Be encouraged, the God we serve knows how to accelerate natural laws. He can take you further, quicker than you can ever imagine.
