I am the first one to admit that I do not like change very much...
"But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved." Luke 5:38
God is all about change. He is all about creativity. He is the One who flung the stars into the heavens like so much loose glitter, birthed each of us, no two alike, and orchestrates the individual movement of each ocean wave. Yes, the Lord is always up to something new.
I cannot take for granted how He will mastermind His work in my life. And, I cannot assume or presume that if He worked one way at one time, He would do the same thing the next time.
New wine is the power of Pentecost, the power of the Holy Spirit. If I am going to be a new wineskin that the Holy Spirit can use to minister His love and healing to people, I have to be open to His creativity at all times. Yes, I can and should stand on God’s Word, but I must always remember that His Living Word, the Lord Jesus John 1:14, usually does not do the same thing twice.
In other words, be open for the Lord Jesus to surprise you!
