Not only is this one of my favorite scriptures in the bible, but it's one of my life lines. In order to spring forth into new things God has planned, you have to be able to let go of the old. Many people cannot see the future because they are so busy looking back with either regrets, past relationships, or people you have done them wrong.
"And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the old skins would burst from the pressure, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. New wine is stored in new wineskins so that both are preserved," (Matthew 9:17).
New and old are like oil and water; They don't mix. God is not going to make you change for the better. It's a free will choice. God is ready to do something new in each and everyone of us. However, we must be willing to let go of the old things, old habits, an old attitude, grab hold of what's new, and never look back.
Heavenly Father, help me to let go of the past and not dwell on the former things in life; So that you can instill the newness in my spirit. I pray this prayer in Jesus' name....Amen.
