Faith like a servant.

This kind of faith like a servant isn't something that we are use to thinking. What I mean by that is were are suppose to serve because of our faith but what I'm talking about are these servants that are in John chapter 2. This is the story of Jesus' first recorded miracle in the Gospel of John which is Jesus turning water into wine. I'm sure we've all heard this story before but have you ever realized how obedient these servants are? I know I haven't. When I was reading this I was shocked how these servants just did what Jesus told them to do. What made me see this so much better was I put myself in their shoes. Imagine being a server at a wedding and you noticed the wine is all gone, depending on your ethnic background that could be dangerous:-) So you are not sure what to do now. Then some lady tells you to do whatever the man next to her tell you to do. Pretty weird but maybe this guy had a stash somewhere. Then this guy tells you to fill up 6 20-30gallon jugs of water and then says go give this to the head hancho. I know I would have thought that this was a joke because all that were in the jugs was water and I know that the head hancho isn't going to be happy with just water. I would have atleast made sure that this guy was going to take the blame if this goes wrong. But that's not what I see here. These servants just fill up their jugs and served the master of the banquet.
Now I'm not saying that these servants knew exactly who Jesus was and the power He had because we don't know if that's what they were thinking. They could have just took Him at His word because there was nothing else to do. After thinking about this all I could think about is would I do the same? Would I just say yes and do whatever it is that Jesus asks of me? This might sound harsh but I believe that these servants make us believers look bad. They did what Jesus said and didn't even know who He was. We on the other hand know who He is and what He's capable of doing yet many times we don't say yes to what He asks of us. I won't lump everyone into that category but I'm guilty of that. I know we are not perfect and we all mess up but that doesn't give us any excuses not to strive for this type of obedience.
So my prayer for us today is that we would be yes men/women to whatever it is the Lord asks of us. I pray for faith and strength for us to let God be God.
