Choosing the right time to do what you came here for

Morning: Psalm 88; Judges 9:1-16, 19-21; Acts 4:13-31

Evening: Psalms 91, 92; John 2:1-12

Jesus must show his hand at some point. The wedding-feast at Cana is that moment. Finally, though he resists his mother’s prodding, he asks them to fill the jars with water - and water becomes wine! Maybe some realize who he is already? Does his mother know? From here on, however, Jesus’s mission is set on its course towards Jerusalem, towards the confrontation he must have with the powers of darkness. In our own lives, too, there is usually a right moment in which we must respond to the nudge that says, ‘Time to do what you came here for.’
