Miracle or Wine

My wife and I attended a wedding recently in KL.

The wedding venue was pretty interesting. The best men, bridesmaids, the daddy and the bride walked down from the stairs to the altar area.
Our guest speaker whom we knew spoke of the account of Jesus at a wedding at Cana. John 2.
Jesus turned the water to wine.
First miracle happened.

That reminds me that there are many people who are looking and desiring to taste the wine rather than knowing the one who performed the miracle.

Most of us can fall into this categories as well.
We may often look for the blessings rather than the Blesser.
We may often eager to have the prize rather that the Giver.
We may often seek for winning rather than the One who guides and mentor us.
Most people are like that. We all can be guilty of that.

BUT if we learn to appreciate what is right, we will learn to HONOR God!

Next time, if you achieve something Honor the One who gave who make it possible for you.

That also reminds me of a story I read many years ago.
A young poor boy was deeply sad when he saw his friend received a new bicycle from his father.
Someone noticed that and asked him why was he sad.
He said when he grows up he wants to be like the father who gave.
He knew what means to be a giver, a blesser...

Application:
Do we just want the product of a miracle or do we want to know and encounter the One who perform the miracle?
