The fruit of the miracle is that his family believes in him and experiences his glory first. Often in our world, our family gets our leftovers, not our best. Jesus is getting the confidence, the buy-in the surrender of his family before he begins his ministry.

Before God created a person he created a place. God created the Garden of Eden before he created Adam and Eve, and then he put them there to steward the place. Places that God has put us are places God is entrusting us with to steward. Are you in the proper place that God has designed for you?

William Booth said, “The greatness of a man’s power is the greatness of his surrender.” Surrender is not a one-time event, but a regular part of a believer’s life. We look to the example of Jesus to see the stages, challenges, and outcomes of a surrendered life.

No call will ever be realized without surrender. We surrender in salvation to God's call for our life. Every time we surrender, God responds with his best. Surrender is an act that allows God to bless us in the manner that he chooses. God is not trying to take something from you; he's trying to get something to you.
