A person of change
Matthew 9:14-16
14Then John's disciples came and asked him, "How is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"15Jesus answered, "How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast16"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."
Recently, I was pondering on the issue of personal and spiritual growth. Why do some people truly excel in life while others struggle in their walk. I look at some people in my age group and i can see such vast difference in the life of different people.
While some are high-flyers and excel in their spiritual walk, others struggle to make their life a little better, nothing seem to change with them. Then i was reminded of the verse in Matthew 9. Jesus was questioned about fasting by the pharisee and he replied that we cannot put new wine into old wine skin.
Allowing God to move in us daily allow us to be a new wineskin so that God can constantly pour in new fresh revelation into our life. The moment we stopped accepting truth into our life, we stop growing and daily we become old wineskin.
Never stop asking God, Never be afraid of asking God to speak to us.
Amen
