Matthew 9:17 (NKJV) 17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
When we outgrow things, it brings change. Just because we have done something the same way for a long time, that doesn’t make doing it differently wrong.
When things are fun and they go well, we like to have them happen the same way over and over again. Why not? After all, it went well!
But, sometimes when seasons change we try to force things to go the same way. And what happens? It doesn’t feel the same. It doesn’t go the same, and we don’t get the same results. We can feel that something has changed.
We can automatically think there is something very wrong. But, that’s not always the case. Sometimes it just simply means that we outgrew the old; it’s time for change and time for the new to come.
If we are not careful we will be negative about it and we will never get to see how God wants to use it. But, if we let it flow and we let God lead us in it, eventually we will see why things had to change and it will all turn out to be very good.
New things come in at times, and usually when we least expect it. We need to embrace them and let God show us what He wants to do with them!
Don’t try to mix it up with the old stuff. The new and the old don’t usually mix well. If anything, it can ruin things.
