Who Knew?

John 2:11: "Jesus...manifested his glory and his disciples believed in him."

Lord, how often you manifest your glory in a way hidden from partakers,
But the servants know:
The drawers of changed water and the learners who follow you.

The ruler of the feast asks why the best was kept until last.
He asks the one who's not bought enough to begin with.

Behind it all is Mother, of course, aware of need and
Possibility. (You see her at Jesus' right shoulder.) She knows the moment.

What sort of manifestation is this? Reluctant, secretive, confusing.

Lord, show us servants your glory.
