John 2:12-25

"Zeal for your house will consume." I love your passion Jesus. Your passion for God, your Father. For how little we make Him. For how we take Him for granted. For how we think and try to manipulate and abuse His mercy and grace. Help me experience and live in and through and out of your passion.

John 2:1-11

Six jars to the brim = 150 gallons!

150 gallons of wine! That's a ridiculous, wasteful amount. You couldn't drink that much in a month. That's like 300 two liter bottles. Over 600 bottles us wine.

What are you trying to show us Jesus?

That you have the ability to accomplish and provide vastly more than we could ever need, ask, and even imagine...

Thinking about the wine you used to symbolize your blood during the Last Supper. Was this miracle at the Wedding at Cana a foreshadowing? Were you saying my blood is more than sufficient. More than even your parched, broken soul could ever need, ask or even imagine...yes, Jesus, your blood covers all our sin. Amen

421

John 2:1-11

"You saved the best till now."

We hear it said to "save the best for last." But you, Lord, saved the best till now. I love that, Jesus. I want to experience your best now in my life. There's no reason to save it when you give your gifts to us from a limitless storehouse.

Forgive my ingratitude. May I be a good receiver today, in Jesus name.

I apologize I have not been nuggetting very consistently lately. I've been attempting something new. Something old actually. A conventional quiet time. Coffee. Prayer. Journalling. Read Scripture. Study what it says. Let God draw me to a verse, a phrase, a word, perhaps something else altogether. Sit with it. And Pray some more. It's been fantastic.

I'll be sharing nuggets again starting tomorrow. But wanted to offer this encouragement to you to try a good old fashion quiet time today.

419

“Seeking the face of God in everything, everyone, all the time, and his hand in every happening; This is what it means to be contemplative in the heart of the world. Seeing and adoring the presence of Jesus, especially in the lowly appearance of bread, and in the distressing disguise of the poor.”
― Mother Teresa, In the Heart of the World: Thoughts, Stories and Prayers

418

Since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. 

Colossians 1:9

My dear friends are leaving for Korea on Saturday morning to pick up their child! We had the great privilege of praying with them last night. We've been praying for them the last year. And they've been praying about this for years beyond that.

And soon we will meet God's answer to our prayers.

Who are you praying for?

I was really blessed by this

1. Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
   Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav’n and home,
   When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is He:
   His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
   His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
   • Refrain:
     I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free,
     For His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
2. “Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
   And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
   Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
   His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
   His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
3. Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
   When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
   I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
   His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
   His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
