The Best for Last

"Everybody I know begins with their finest wines and after the guests have had their fill brings in the  cheap stuff. But you've saved the best till now!"  - John 2:10

Last to be picked for the team. Last in the lunch line. Last to get service. Last on the bus. Last to be married. Last to get promoted. Last, last, last. Sometimes you feel like you have a sign stuck to your forehead that says "pick me LAST for everything". Being last is looked upon as being so bad, that we forget that even if we FINISH last, at least we FINISHED, while some didn't even cross the finish line. If finishing last has been synonymous with your identity, I want to encourage you today that God has saved the best for last.

In John 2, we find Jesus enjoying himself as a guest at a wedding celebration. It was His mother, Mary, who enlisted His help to keep the wine coming for the guests. Jesus hesitated saying that His time had not yet come, but obliged His mother and turned 6 water pots of water into wine. Not just any old wine either. Jesus turned plain water into fine wine. In essence, the best was saved for last.

My friend, don't let the success of others crowd the space in which you dream, you achieve, and you aspire. Your time may not have yet come, but know that it will. And when the Lord presents you as the gift that you are, no one will say "it's about time". Instead, they're going to wonder where you've been hiding all this time. People may be treating like plain water right now. What they don't know is that they are in the presence of a miracle! He's saving His best for last!

Your destiny in Christ has been established. There's no need to fight your way through to the front. No reason to clamour your way to the top. Your gift will make room for you. The anointing of God over your life will be revealed. God's plan for your life will be accomplished! If people don't know who you are right now, you'd better believe that one day they will! He's saving you for the appointed time. He's saving His best for these last days.

I don't know about you, but I don't mind waiting on God :0)
