Evening: Psalm 107:1-32; John 4:43-54
It’s popular nowadays to ask people what they need. ‘Needs assessments’ assume, however, that we know what we need. Jesus points out that we are often only interested in satisfying physical cravings, not realizing it’s spiritual ‘food’ that we need. We will trust God if we get what we want – miraculous wine or bread. The royal official in today’s story is different, though … he trusts God first, and then receives what he needs. Faith is not faith if it depends on getting what you want. Faith steps into the unknown expecting that there, its unknown needs will be met.
