The Wedding at Cana: Jesus turns the water to wine
John 2:1-12

Daily Readings

Genesis 6:1-8

When people began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that they were fair; and they took wives for themselves of all that they chose. Then the LORD said, "My spirit shall not abide in mortals forever, for they are flesh; their days shall be one hundred twenty years." The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-- and also afterward-- when the sons of God went in to the daughters of humans, who bore children to them. These were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown. The LORD saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the LORD said, "I will blot out from the earth the human beings I have created-- people together with animals and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them." But Noah found favor in the sight of the LORD.

Hebrews 3:12-19

Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partners of Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end. As it is said, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion." Now who were they who heard and yet were rebellious? Was it not all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses? But with whom was he angry forty years? Was it not those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, if not to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.

John 2:1-12

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward." So they took it. When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now." Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples; and they remained there a few days.

Prayer of the Day for FRIDAY, January 12, 2018

Lord God of Peace, Thank you for forgiving and healing me.

Once again I entrust myself to You. Your mercy is infinitely greater than my sins, and your healing greater than my pain.

Lord, You speak to your people through the word of testimony. Your Son Jesus Christ is the Eternal Testimony of you, our Father. The apostles gave testimony to his Resurrection. Believers through the ages have testified to the power of your grace. And we your people continue that testimony today. Lord, as I share with others my experience of despair and pain, of healing and redemption, may those who hear me be blessed.

And may I, your child and your servant, grow closer to you, as I proclaim through my testimony that we have a Savior, in whom is all our hope, our joy and our life, in whom is the victory over death and the hope of Resurrection, and that his name is Jesus!

Amen

Morning Devotions with Cap'n Kenny - What's Your Story?

What's Your Story?

"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ."

~ Romans 10:17 (NIV)

Everyone likes to hear a good story—especially a true story. And when it comes to sharing your faith, one of the most effective tools in your evangelistic toolbox is your personal testimony.

A testimony is a powerful bridge builder. It’s a way to connect with your listener so that he or she can see how you came to be who you are and why you believe what you believe. It’s a way to engage people, build a bridge, and help them see how they can come to faith as well.

Another great thing about sharing your testimony is that you can indirectly preach the gospel. You can say something like, “Before I was a Christian, my life was going nowhere. There was an emptiness in it, and I wondered what was wrong, what was missing. But one day, I went to a church service and heard the pastor say...”

Or you might say, “Someone came up to me and shared these words with me... I heard it, I believed it, and I responded to it.”

You can actually share the gospel while you are telling your own story. And when you’re done, you can say, “What do you think about that? Have you ever heard that before? Have you ever considered who Jesus is?”

What’s your story? Everyone has one. Everyone has a testimony, and every testimony is valid.

When you get down to it, every Christian’s testimony is essentially the same. We were all lost. We were all separated from God. We were all guilty and lonely and afraid to die. And we were all on our way to Hell. But Jesus Christ, in His grace, intervened in our lives and transformed us. That is your story, and it is worth telling.

Lord God of Peace, Thank you for forgiving and healing me.

Once again I entrust myself to You. Your mercy is infinitely greater than my sins, and your healing greater than my pain.

Lord, You speak to your people through the word of testimony. Your Son Jesus Christ is the Eternal Testimony of you, our Father. The apostles gave testimony to his Resurrection. Believers through the ages have testified to the power of your grace. And we your people continue that testimony today. Lord, as I share with others my experience of despair and pain, of healing and redemption, may those who hear me be blessed.

And may I, your child and your servant, grow closer to you, as I proclaim through my testimony that we have a Savior, in whom is all our hope, our joy and our life, in whom is the victory over death and the hope of Resurrection, and that his name is Jesus! Amen

In Jesus,
Cap'n Kenny

Un Dia a la Vez - El amor a Dios

El amor a Dios

Dios es amor. El que permanece en amor, permanece en Dios, y Dios en él.

~ 1 Juan 4:16 (NVI)

Si no amamos a Dios, no podemos dar amor a los demás. ¡Este es otro principio bellísimo! Se trata de entender que nuestra labor más hermosa es amar a Dios con todo nuestro corazón y con todas nuestras fuerzas.

A mí no me gusta mucho escuchar cuando otra persona dice que está enamorada de Jesús. Esto se debe a que, al decir «enamorada», mi mente de inmediato lo relaciona con el amor a mi esposo. Aun así, se escucha con mucha frecuencia en canciones interpretadas por hombres y mujeres. Lo que rescato de esto es que amar a Dios me hace más sensible a las cosas espirituales. Amar a Dios me hace más misericordiosa para entender el dolor de un amigo. Amar a Dios me hace valorar todo lo que Él ha hecho por mí desde perdonar mis pecados, restaurar mi vida y darme una nueva oportunidad de ser feliz.

Te puedo dar fe y testimonio de que amar a Dios, servirle a Él y renunciar a otros intereses me han dado más felicidad que cuando no le conocía. Cuando decidí trabajar en un medio cristiano de comunicación, muchos me tacharon de religiosa, fanática y hasta loca al dejar la fama y el dinero que representaba trabajar en una radio tan importante como lo es Radio Caracol en Miami y dedicarme por completo a servir a Dios. Hoy, diez años más tarde, he dado el mejor de los frutos. Dios ha recompensado cada minuto de mi trabajo, me ha respaldado, me ha usado para servir de ejemplo e inspiración para otros. Lo que es más lindo, me ha permitido trabajar en lo que me gusta y con el mejor jefe… Él.

Standing Strong Through the Storm - GOD IS IN CONTROL

GOD IS IN CONTROL

The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

~ Psalm 118:22-23 (NIV)

Co-worker Ron Boyd-MacMillan writes in his epic volume, Faith That Endures, “Your life’s purpose may remain a mystery to you, as may the events of your world, but that’s okay. God is in control. We are relieved of the responsibility of understanding everything and the need to change it.”[1]

R. J. Thomas was a Welsh missionary with a burden for the xenophobic hermit kingdom of Korea in the middle of the nineteenth century. In 1865, while in China, the opportunity he had been waiting a lifetime for arrived. An American ship, the SS General Sherman, was going to steam up the Taedong River to the capital, Pyongyang, in hopes of luring the Koreans into trade. Thomas bought a berth on the ship, hoping to meet some scholars in Pyongyang who spoke and read Chinese, and took as many Chinese Scriptures with him as he could carry on board.

When they reached Pyongyang, they were not welcomed. They got stuck on a sandbank and the ship was set afire. As the crew waded to shore, they were killed by the waiting Koreans. Thomas also waded to shore. Before he could speak, a club swung with murderous force dashed his brains into the water, but his killer noticed he had emerged with books. He picked up a couple of the sodden books. Drying them off, he separated the leaves and saw that they were nicely printed. He could not read but decided to paper the outside of his house compound with the pages, as was the custom at the time.

Imagine his astonishment when he returned from the fields a few weeks later to find a clutch of scholars earnestly reading his walls. One of these scholars became a Christian by reading a Gospel portion plastered onto the wall. A generation later his nephew assisted in the first translation of the New Testament into Korean in Shenyang, China under the supervision of another little-known missionary, John Ross from Scotland.

R.J. Thomas never lived to see the fruit of his labor or his prayers for Korean people. He died, his life’s purpose unfulfilled, his potential unrealized. For anyone aware of Thomas’s death, his life was a mystery for years afterward. But his life was not in vain. The meaning of life does not consist in what we make of it, but in what God makes of it. Success is not about achievement or what we make of ourselves. It’s about placement, or what God makes of us. We take the lesson from the persecuted church that it is okay to die quite unaware of our life’s meaning. We can rest in trust that God, in His mercy, has used us to help build His eternal kingdom.[2]

RESPONSE: Today I leave my placement, my purpose, my potential in the hands of a good and loving God.

PRAYER: May I ever realize that You are in control and thus truly allow You to be Lord of my life.

Men of the Bible - Noah

Noah

His name means: "To Rest"

His work: We don't know what Noah did for a living before he heard from God, but following that encounter, he became an accomplished carpenter.
His character: Noah was a righteous man, obedient and faithful.
His sorrow: In spite of his admonitions and warnings, Noah was unable to convince his neighbors, friends, and extended family to repent. As a result, they were all drowned in the flood.
His triumph: Noah's obedience saved not only his life but the lives of his wife and children.
Key Scriptures: Genesis 6-7

A Look at the Man

Once in a while a man comes along who's not afraid to obey.

We cannot imagine what it must have been like to be Noah. He lived in a culture that was corrupted by immorality and violence. According to the story, the earth was literally "full" of it.

So reprehensible were people's lives that God regretted having created these divine image-bearers. So much so that he decided to remove every living thing from the face of the earth, like a man clearing a table with the back of his hand. Can you imagine?

But on his way to starting all over again, the Lord looked at Noah. His life was so exemplary that in the middle of all this debauchery, he found favor in God's eyes. This man, Noah, was righteous and blameless among the people of his time. Because of his faithfulness, he was the one man whom the Lord chose not to destroy.

We don't have to look very far to find a lesson in this man's life. Like Noah's culture, the one that surrounds us is drowning in immorality, corruption, and violence. And like Noah, we can choose to quietly capitulate or to stand against it. Once we decide to stand firm—to live in obedience to God—the tricky part comes with trying to understand how. What does submission to him look like? And what should we expect as the result of this obedience?

Tucked away in this story is the secret to Noah's success. Noah walked with God. For Noah, surrender was not a single decision or noteworthy event; it was a process. A routine. A journey. A walk. Obedience was the natural result of this methodical approach. Walking with God meant knowing him. Knowing God meant loving him. Loving meant hearing. Hearing, obeying.

And obeying God meant salvation.

We can imagine that decades of subtle and overt ridicule may have led Noah to question God. There had to have been moments of loneliness and genuine doubt. But taking one step at a time along the path God had laid out for him kept Noah on track.

Noah's obedience led to the preservation of not only his own life, but of the lives of his wife and children. Once the project was complete and everyone around him had rejected the notion that God would actually destroy the earth with a catastrophic flood, Noah and his whole family entered the safety of the ark. Then the Lord shut him in. Noah's obedience not only led to the preservation of his own life but the lives of his wife and children.

In fact, Noah's faithfulness—in the form of a great ark—became one of the early church's symbols for refuge. The interiors of many great cathedrals were built to resemble the inside of a boat—a shelter in the time of storm, a reminder of an obedient man who went before us and was saved.

Reflect On: Genesis 8
Praise God: For using his followers to accomplish his purposes.
Offer Thanks: For God’s mercy toward the human race.
Confess: Any tendency to care more about what the world thinks of you than about what God thinks.
Ask God: To show you what it means, not just to obey a set of laws, but to stay close to him throughout your life—to walk with him.

Girlfriends in God - Stop, Drop and Run!

Stop, Drop and Run!

Today’s Truth

Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he [Jesus] saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him.”

~ Mark 1:16-18 (ESV)

Friend to Friend

Long ago, in a faraway land…well, actually, it was back in 2006 in the den of my home on Long Island, NY…a calling was heard: “It’s time to write.” Excuse me, Lord, are you speaking to me?

What was I to do with that directive? I guess there were three options: 1-shake it off and go on with my life as is, chalking it up to a random, self-directed thought, 2-stall on it—put it on a shelf until a more “appropriate time,” or 3-put voice to it; tell my husband and a few trusted friends who would hold me accountable and then run, head first, into the great unknown (to myself) world of writing.

I don’t know about you, but I never considered writing as a direction for my life’s energies. First of all, my father, who had a masters degree in literature, told me throughout my formative years that I was an awful writer. Second, writing wasn’t how I expressed myself. I am a verbal girl through and through—one of my teachers once said I had verbal diarrhea! Seriously, I don’t even journal. Anyhow, you get the picture. Writing was never on my radar.

I imagine the same was true for the first four disciples that Jesus called. They were hard working fisherman. Fish, boats, and nets were their world. But leaving everything to become a fisher of men? What was that all about?

Reading through the Gospel of Mark I was recently struck anew with the lack of hesitation Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John showed in responding to Jesus’ call to follow him. The text states that they immediately left what they were doing and struck out on a new, unknown course. Did they even know what Jesus had planned for them? What it would cost them? Where it would lead them?

Given my personal dilemma above, I chose (with great trepidation) “door #3,” responding “Yes” to Jesus’ call for me to begin writing. Truthfully, this response was not natural, but rather a cultivated behavior, preceded by many failures—flat out “No’s” and a great deal of “Okay, but laters.” With six, published books, hundreds of Monday Morning Health Tips and articles, and a bunch of GIG Bible devotionals written to date, I am so thankful that I responded, “Yes, Lord, use even me.” His will has been accomplished and His name has been glorified!

Maybe you are struggling with the same feelings I had: fear of following and fear of failure, unwillingness to let go of certain things/lifestyles in order to follow, and the knowledge that I’d be functioning outside of my perceived skill set. If so, I would encourage you today, with your eyes trained on Jesus and with your ears attentive to His call, to STOP, DROP, AND RUN...towards His calling!

Jesus accomplished some of His greatest work through a group of men who were completely unqualified for their calling. I promise, He can, and will, do the same through you.

Let’s Pray

Jesus, I am humbled that You consider me worthy to be used—in ways big and small—to accomplish Your will here on earth. Help me respond without hesitation whenever I perceive Your voice calling me into action. In Your powerful and equipping Name, I pray, Amen.

Now It's Your Turn

What has been your go-to response when the Lord calls you to serve Him outside of your comfort zone? What is the first calling that comes to mind to which you have responded “No” or “Later?” Ask for forgiveness and for the opportunity to respond with obedience—to drop your nets and run into your call.

LHM Devotion - January 12, 2018 "A Gift for God"

Devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries

"A Gift for God"

Jan. 12, 2018

(excerpts) - Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love; according to Your abundant mercy ... Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be justified in Your sight ... Cast me not away from Your presence, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. ... O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise. For You will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; You will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

~ Psalm 51 (ESV)

There is a story which comes from the Middle Ages.

It speaks about an angel who wanted to give God the gift which the divine Lord valued the most. The angel traveled to earth and began his search. It took a few hundred years, but the angel eventually returned to heaven with a glass vial. In the vial was sand which had been stained red by drops of blood taken from a martyr who had died in his Savior's service.

It was a magnificent gift, a moving present, but the bloodied sand was not the gift the Lord most desired.

The angel returned to earth and, once again, began his wanderings. He stopped and was touched to see a poor widow offer up a few coins to people who had even less than she. Yes, the angel was moved by the dear lady's actions, but he knew those coins would not be the gift the Lord loved the most.

The search continued. Occasionally, the angel found something which had possibilities. He came upon a cross which had been used by a great preacher; there were the shoes of a missionary who had shared the Gospel in a heathen land, and he was delighted by the laughter of a child who was loved by Christian parents.

"These are all wonderful gifts," the angel said to himself, "but they are not the gift which God values most." Once more the angel began his search on earth.

There the angel saw two men sitting by a fountain. One of the men bent down to drink and in the water saw his sin-ravaged face. Overcome by all he had done wrong -- and who he had become -- the man wept.

The angel, ever so quietly, moved up and collected a tear of repentance.

But the angel did not return immediately to heaven. The angel listened as the second man spoke of the Savior and the hope which comes from sins forgiven. Once again, the first man cried. But this time he cried with joy at the good news of the Gospel.

He had been given faith in Jesus as his Savior. His sins were gone. He was forgiven. He had eternal life.

The angel captured one of those tears as well. The angel brought the tear of repentance and the tear of faith to heaven. Those two tears, mixed together, were presented to God, and God smiled. Tears of repentance, tears of Gospel joy. According to the story, that was the gift which God loved the most.

Tears of repentance, tears of Gospel joy. I know they are what we need the most.

THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, may I always give thanks for Jesus who is Your gift to me. May my praise be sincere and unceasing. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.

Devocional del CPTLN del 12 de Enero de 2018 "Sabiduría proverbial"

ALIMENTO DIARIO

"Sabiduría proverbial"

12 de Enero de 2018

Es mejor ser humilde entre los humildes que compartir despojos con los soberbios.

~ Proverbios 16:19 (RVC)

¡Cuán contraria a nuestro pensamiento humano parece ser a veces la Palabra de Dios!

Fijémonos en el texto para hoy del libro de Proverbios. ¿Será cierto? ¿Serácierto que es mejor humillarse con los oprimidos que compartir el botín con los orgullosos?"

La Palabra de Dios dice que sí. Evidentemente, es mejor ser quien ha sufrido por culpa de otro, que quien hace sufrir a otro. Esta verdad confirma que los caminos de Dios no son nuestros caminos.

Cuando miramos la vida de Jesucristo, vemos este principio en acción. Como el Cordero de Dios sin mancha, Jesús llevó nuestros pecados a la cruz, pagó el precio de nuestra redención y resucitó de la tumba victorioso sobre Satanás.

Sin embargo, camino al Gólgota, el Salvador fue oprimido -severamente oprimido y golpeado. Aún así, Pedro dice que: "Cuando proferían insultos contra él, no replicaba con insultos; cuando padecía, no amenazaba, sino que se entregaba a aquel que juzga con justicia" (1 Pedro 2:23). Jesucristo se 'humilló en espíritu', y confió en Dios.

Cuando con fe depositamos nuestra confianza en Dios, quien juzga con justicia, estamos actuando como Cristo actuó. Cuando el mundo nos oprime, cuando nuestros amigos nos fallan, cuando los demás se alegran en nuestra miseria, confiemos en Dios.

En los momentos más difíciles y oscuros de su vida, Jesús confió en el poder que su Padre tiene sobre el mundo y todas las circunstancias de la vida.

Nosotros también podemos hacerlo.

ORACIÓN: Padre celestial, recuérdanos de confiar en ti como lo hizo Jesús. A través de tu Espíritu Santo danos valor para saber que, aun cuando nos sintamos derrotados, tú nos amas y nos cuidas. En el nombre de Jesús. Amén.

Aber die Gottesfürchtigen trösten sich untereinander: Der Herr merkt und hört es. Maleachi 3,16

Lee ist ein gewissenhafter und zuverlässiger Bankangestellter. Trotzdem fühlt er sich oftmals, als wäre er vom anderen Planet, wenn er seinen Glauben auslebt. Das zeigt sich in Umständen, wenn er beispielsweise den Pausenraum während einer unangemessenen Unterhaltung verlässt. Bei einer Bibelarbeit erzählte er seinen Freunden, „Ich habe Angst, Beförderungsmöglichkeiten zu verpassen, weil ich nicht reinpasse.“

Zur Zeit des Propheten Maleachis standen Gläubige ähnlichen Herausforderungen gegenüber. Sie waren aus dem Exil zurückgekehrt und der Tempel war wieder aufgebaut worden. Trotzdem herrschte eine Skepsis über Gottes Plan für die Zukunft. Einige der Israeliten sagten, „Es ist umsonst, dass man Gott dient; und was nützt es, dass wir sein Gebot halten . . .? Darum preisen wir die Verächter; denn die Gottlosen gedeihen, und die Gott versuchen, bleiben bewahrt“ (Maleachi 3,14-15).

Wie können wir für Gott standhaft bleiben in einer Kultur, die uns sagt, wir verlieren nur, wenn wir uns nicht integrieren? Die Gläubigen zu Maleachis Zeit reagierten auf diese Herausforderung, indem sie sich mit gleichgesinnten Gläubigen trafen, um einander zu ermutigen. Maleachi teilt dieses wichtige Detail mit uns: „Der Herr merkt und hört es“ (V. 16).

Gott bemerkt es und kümmert sich um die, die ihn fürchten und ehren. Er fordert uns nicht auf, uns zu integrieren, sondern uns täglich ihm zu nähern, während wir uns einander ermutigen. Bleiben wir treu!

Herr, hilf uns, dass wir einander dazu ermutigen, dir in dieser ungläubigen Welt treu zu bleiben.

Unser Glaube kann geprüft werden, damit wir Gottes Treue vertrauen.
