Sometimes in marriage we run out of wine. You may be asking what do I mean. Wine is synonymous with joy and even intimacy. Wine can represent anything that you may have had in the beginning of your relationship but suddenly ran out of. The enemy is trying to make you believe its too late for your marriage or relationship. I want to encourage you and lets go see how Jesus handled the wedding in Cana in his day. Mary, his mother, had the answer then and NOW.

John 2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” 4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

Jesus tells them to fill the vessels with water. You maybe asking yourself how could you get wine from water. When they were willing to bring the vessels to Christ, he was able to turn the water to wine. God wants to upgrade you. He wants you to know he can take what you have and make it new wine. Lets read on.

They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

The Lord wants you to know if you are willing to DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU TO DO, that he can restore your relationship. He can make it BETTER than it was in the beginning. He wants to reveal his glory, will you allow him too? There is new wine waiting.

New Wine

As a fine bottle of wine,

that has fermented in time,

Is my love,

A drink that has not lost its flavor,

That is a sweet smelling savor,

In spite of,

A taste that must be acquired, 

Filled with warmth, with much to be desired,

A sweetness of NEW juices that are flowing, and growing,

From a new wine,

that is intoxicating enough to cause you to 

ARISE

To new heights,

new sights,

new depths, 

And new breaths.
