This week's devotion for November 23, 2025
BUT THE SERVANTS KNEW
John 2:9 KJV
[9] When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
Jesus had the water pots filled with water. When the servants obeyed and drew the water to serve the governor, the water had been changed to wine. The governor was expecting wine so the only surprise to him was how good it was. The servants on the other hand knew that Jesus had changed the water to wine.
How special one is to be able to witness Christ at work. One would think that God might have chosen the governor to witness this but he chose the servants. You might have thought the disciples would have been given an insight into this miracle but Jesus wanted the servants to have the first knowledge of it.
Is it an honor to be a servant of Christ? It sure is. The servants have been blessed to witness the Lord working miracles. I’ve been so blessed to have been a Christian for over fifty years. No way could I ever regret becoming one of His servants. The Lord called me into the ministry over forty years ago. What a blessing it has been to be in the service for the King of Kings! Some may not see the things that I’ve been afforded to see. Yes He still works miracles. I’ve seen little babies born to those who thought there was no way they could ever have a child. Some who were given only months to live have lived many years beyond what they thought was their appointed time. The greatest privilege for me has been to see men and women who were strongly held in the grasp of Satan, loosed from the chains of sin by the power of Christ; those who were lost in sin being born again by the blood of Jesus. That is the greatest of all miracles. Many who held high rank on earth have not seen these things. Some kings and emperors never knew these miracles because they never knew Him. But the servants knew. Those whose ear was attuned to Jesus have known. To God be the glory! Great things he hath done!
Yours in Christ,
Brother Randy Burtram
