“Do whatever he tells you.” These words from Mary to the servants at the Wedding at Cana continue to be asked of us today. In a culture that seeks happiness and identity by throwing off outside authority, each of us must wrestle with the question of whether we trust God enough to give Him our yes. Will we choose his authority above our own in our lives? Jesus Himself reveals that obedience is the only path that leads to true freedom, fulfillment, and salvation.
