Do It !

 There is some advice that is just invaluable. It comes from others who have had enough experience in life to learn some important lessons. It really is beneficial for us to heed that advice, whether we understand it or not. Sometimes this is hard because we want to do things our own way, and we want to fully understand things before we agree to do them. However, when we hear this golden advice, we better just do it.

Jesus's mother, Mary, had seen a lot of things in her life. She saw the miraculous birth of Jesus, and she watched Him grow up living a perfect, sinless life. She had faith in Jesus to always say and do the right thing. Therefore, at the wedding in Cana she gave invaluable advice. (John 2:5) Mary said to the servants, "Whatever He tells you, do it." We would all do well to heed her advice.

Jesus has communicated to us His will for us through the words of the Bible. The Holy Spirit inspired the authors of the Bible to write down God's words, and they always lead us in the right direction when we understand them correctly. We may not understand why the Bible says what it says, but if God uses it to tell us something, we must just do it, without any complaining or questions.

The same is true for us, as believers, as we pray about all of the things that are going on in our lives. As we pray, we must listen for the voice of the Lord. It is usually not an audible voice, but it is very clear what He is telling us to do. We must not put it off, or doubt what He tells us. We must just "do it" as completely as we can, trusting what He says and trusting His leadership to accomplish His will for us.
