Joel Osteen Devotional December 27 2020 – Faithful in Your Water Days

John 2:7, NKJV

Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.

Jesus was at a wedding in Galilee when they ran out of wine. He told the workers to fill six stone pots with water, which meant hauling around 180 gallons of water from the well, bucket after bucket. It would have been easy to stay encouraged if the water changed to wine when they poured it in the pots, but nothing changed. It’s when God can trust you to be faithful in the ordinary that He’ll do the extraordinary. You may be believing for wine, but you’re only seeing water. Be faithful in your water days; wine is coming. It’s going to happen suddenly, unexpectedly.

When the workers drew water out of the pots and took it to the host of the banquet, it had not just turned into wine, but it was the highest quality wine! When you pass the test in your water days, what’s in your future is going to be more exciting, more rewarding, more fulfilling than you’ve ever imagined.

“Father, thank You for calling me to be faithful in my water days, when I’m not seeing the change I’d like to see. Thank You that the wine is coming, that You will bring the extraordinary out of the ordinary. I will be faithful and look forward to Your very best. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
