Weekly Creative Devotional

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the power and compassion of Jesus. As we reflect on His first miracle, help us to see how You care about every part of our lives – even the small things. May our hearts be filled with faith to trust You for transformation in every area. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

 

REFLECTION

In John 2, Jesus turned water into wine – His first recorded miracle. This act wasn’t just about helping a wedding celebration continue – it was a sign of His glory, His care, and His power to transform. The servants obeyed a simple instruction: “Fill the jars with water.” They had no idea what Jesus would do next, yet they trusted and acted.

This miracle reminds us that God can take the ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary. Sometimes, our part is simply to be obedient, even when we don’t see the outcome. Jesus brings abundance, joy, and renewal to what might seem empty or lacking.

 

MEMORIZING THE VERSE

Committing to Heart:

• John 2:7 (ESV) – Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

Reflective Writing: Copy this verse in your journal and write a short response to Jesus:
“Lord, help me to trust You, even when I don’t understand. I choose to obey.”

 

CREATING AND MEDITATING

Choose a creative activity:

Option 1: Water-to-Wine Art Page
Use watercolor or markers to illustrate a scene of water being poured and transforming into deep red wine. Label the jars with areas of your life where you need Jesus to work. Let this be a visual prayer of surrender and expectation.

Option 2: Faith-Filled Jars Journal Prompt
Draw six jars in your journal. In each jar, write one area where you are trusting Jesus to bring transformation (e.g., fear, uncertainty, relationships, etc.). As you reflect, pray over each one and invite Jesus to fill it with His grace.

 

TAKING ACTION AND APPLYING

This week, look for a small, everyday opportunity to be obedient to Jesus – whether it’s being kind to someone difficult, helping someone in need, or simply making time to pray. Remember, obedience opens the door to miracles, even if you don’t see the result right away.

   

Hymn

 

All Praise to You, O Lord

1 All praise to you, O Lord, who by your mighty power did manifest your glory forth in Cana’s marriage hour.

2 You speak, and it is done; obedient to your word, the water reddening into wine proclaims the present Lord.

3 Oh, may this grace be ours; in you always to live and drink of those refreshing streams which you alone can give.

4 So, led from strength to strength, grant us, O Lord, to see the marriage supper of the Lamb, the great epiphany.

Words: Hyde Wyndham Beadon, Music: Charles Lockhart

 

Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus,
Thank You for showing us Your power and love through the miracle at Cana. Help us to follow Your voice and obey, even when the way is unclear. Transform our ordinary into Your extraordinary, and may our lives reflect Your glory. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.

ABOUT OUR MINISTRY

We are a non-denominational Bible-believing Christian Ministry trained and equipped at the Christian Leaders Institute and Axx Bible College. Even though our Ministry is based on God's Word, the Bible, you need to approach our teachings like the Bereans and always study the Bible yourself to see if what we teach is aligned with what is written in the Bible.  

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Acts 17:11 NIV  

We are only humans who 'stumble in many ways' (James 3:2) and we only 'know in part and we prophesy in part' (1 Corinthians 13:9).
