| Why? |
| “And there were set there six waterpots of stone … containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim” (John 2:6-7). |
| Why is it that, on the first day of the week, my heart is often cold and indifferent to the person of Christ, and there seems so little praise and worship to offer to Him? I believe it is because I have not been occupied with and enjoying Himself during the week. In other words, I have not filled my water pots with the water of the Word, so that He has something to change to the wine of joy and praise. |
| At the wedding feast in John chapter two, the Lord changed the water into wine, which is often used in the Bible as a figure of joy and praise. Notice that, when the servants filled the vessels, they filled them to the brim. When we fill something to the brim there is no room for anything else. Just so, when we fill our lives with Christ six days of the week, we will have plenty of enjoyment of Himself in our souls, and much “good wine” (John 2:10)to pour out in worship, praise, and thanksgiving. |
