What makes a common vessel, supernatural?

The words I read today gave me hope. Actually they made my soul soar. It was at the end of Jesus’ first miracle. The wine steward sips the water turned to wine and compliments the smart groom.

“…but you have saved the very best till now.” Referring to the fact that the groom has saved back the very best wine for late into the ceremony. Sometimes I feel late to bloom, late in the ceremony of life, but I am excited to see that God tends to save back some of the very best, for late in the game.

Maybe you are feeling emptied out. It is late into the party all the jugs of wine were strewn about with a lot of dancing still left to do. There are days I feel emptied out as well. Unable to give any more, unable to answer one more request, but every child seems to be holding out a cup saying fill this. When you are empty you can get that feeling like the party is you, and it is getting ready to break up.

Have you every run into the end of you? It is a surprising and fearful place, but I love how God responds to empty vessels. Emptiness is an opportunity for God to show off His best party trick. Water basins fill with wine, empty jugs overflow with oil, a flour jar that does not fail till the drought ends.

An empty vessel turned over to the power of God is an amazing thing.

What makes a common vessel, supernatural? The empty moment. The moment you reach the end of you turn to God and say fill me up. It could be the beginning of God’s very best work in your life.
