Everything Belongs to God: Give, Praise, and Trust

The passage unfolds as a fierce reminder of God's ownership, sovereignty, and providential care. Everything—houses, money, relationships, even the smallest jars at a wedding feast—ultimately belongs to God, not to human claim or control. Planning, striving, and strategic effort matter, but they are always framed under the reality that God has the final say; setbacks become preludes to restoration when seen through that lens. At a wedding where wine runs out, the presence of Jesus and his mother exposes a deeper theology: a child who belongs to God carries a vocation that moves beyond personal hesitation and human timing. Mary’s bold intercession and Jesus’ obedience reveal that God’s calling can be provoked by faithful insistence, and that those who truly belong to God will manifest salvation and transformation when called upon.

The narrative presses the listener to risk the “not enough.” The six stone water jars—ordinary, insufficient containers—become instruments of abundance when offered back to God. The text challenges faith to bring what remains, not what’s perfect, trusting God to make it more than enough. Giving is reframed: it is not an attempt to fund a leader or secure status, but an act of stewardship toward the Lord whose hand governs increase. Likewise, praise and compliments are redirected. The host tastes the superior wine and mistakenly thanks the bridegroom—while insiders know the true source. The proper response is to return credit to God: to cultivate a habit of thanksgiving that recognizes daily deliverances, near-misses, and mysterious preserves as evidence of God’s ongoing goodness.

Taken together, the teaching moves from humility (nothing belongs to human mastery) to vocation (children and servants belong to God’s mission), to stewardship (offer the little with faith), and to worship (assign God the compliments). The outcome is pastoral exhortation: live with less anxiety, steward what is entrusted, give sacrificially, and let praise publicly acknowledge the Lord’s providential work now and in the year ahead.

Key Takeaways

• 1. Nothing ultimately belongs to you Real ownership is theological, not transactional; recognizing that frees a person from frantic grasping and invites faithful stewardship. This reality reframes loss as temporary and places hope in God’s restorative power rather than in human accumulation. When possessions, plans, and people are held as gifts, decisions become oriented by responsibility to the Giver rather than by fear of scarcity. [09:16]
• 2. Give God the little you have Faith often begins with what feels insufficient; offering the remaining jars or the last resources tests trust more than the extravagant gift ever could. God’s economy multiplies obedience, not sheer volume, so the posture of giving the “not enough” invites divine creativity and increase beyond human calculation. The act of surrender matters more than the amount, because it acknowledges God’s rightful claim and opens space for miracle. [32:53]
• 3. Children ultimately belong to God Parenting and formation are practices of stewardship under divine ownership: children are entrusted to human care but first and foremost belong to God’s purposes. This shifts parental posture from anxious control to disciplined intercession, training, and release—praying faithfully while resisting the urge to possess. Recognizing vocation in a child recalibrates expectations and allows adults to steward calling rather than manufacture outcomes. [15:37]
• 4. Praise and credit belong to God The scene where insiders know the source of the miracle but the host credits the bridegroom highlights a spiritual failure: taking human credit for divine action. Restoring praise to God is a daily discipline that refocuses memory, cultivates gratitude, and witnesses publicly to God’s sustaining presence. Compliments offered to God recalibrate identity and resist the temptation to idolize status, success, or personal merit. [43:55]

It all belongs to god. And here we are at a wedding feast and Jesus is teaching us that we don't control anything. Come on. As much as we try, [09:55] as much as we plan, as much as we strategize, at the end of the day, god has the last say. Come on because if it was up to you, 2025 when it went like it went.
