God is More than Enough

John 2:6,
"And there were set there six waterpots
of stone, after the manner of the purifying
of the Jews, containing two or three
firkins apiece."

JOHN 2:1-11

God has been represented as a God who is
on a tight budget and who disapproves of
us asking for anything more than just the
necessities.

Jesus' first miracle doesn't prove that.

Scholars suggest that a 'firkin' was equal to
about nine U.S. gallons.
This means that six of these water pots
would hold 162 gallons of wine.
That's a lot of wine!

Also when Jesus was asked to provide food
for the multitude, He once again supplied
more than the need (Matthew 14:15-21;
Mark 6:33-44; Luke 9:11-17).
These examples show the Lord's willingness
to meet our needs with plenty to spare.

God is more than enough!

We are not to limit God to barely meeting
our needs.
If we have enough, then we should believe
for extra so that we can bless someone else.

"Let God be magnified, who has pleasure in
the prosperity of His servants" (Psalm 35:27).
