For me, I find myself coming and going more than sitting and worshipping. Diving into God’s word is not much on the radar. My well is dry. My bones are tired. My frustration meter is peaking too high.
When we fill our days with the stuff of this world, we become distracted from God’s priority for our lives. The distance is increased as we do things under our own strength.
But yet we keep pushing through trying to solve the problems all by ourselves.
And you wonder why you feel alone, tired, unhappy; the well dried up.
This weekend, I made it a point to do something special for my husband. (Episode 1372) He has been wanting for some time now for me to hang pictures. I wasn’t confident that I knew where I wanted the pictures placed. I kept playing with areas and locations. I the last thing I needed was more holes in the walls.
However, yesterday I was brave! Out came the hammer, nails, stud finder, and lots of patience. Let the decorating begin!
The first two pictures I hung-up were in our master bedroom. These pictures have been with us for at least 4 moves, I believe. But never did they hang in our bedroom.
Well to my surprise, these pictures were the crowning glory for the bedroom. Just what the room needed to add that finishing touch.
The old made new.
The K.I.S.S. ~ The old made NEW!
You see, we all have stuff from the past. Sometimes, we don’t always know what to do with it.
- We try to bury it.
- We try to forget it.
- We try to create something different around it.
But God can make it new! God can take you and make you new!
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17
It’s an incredible reminder… The pictures I hung up have been through a lot. They’ve hung on many walls, high and low. They’ve been covered in paper and dust. A few bugs have even crawled on them. And even a few milk splatters.
But with a little love and grace (what I call Heavenly grit), a new wall to hang upon, the pictures are made new. They are brighter than ever before. They make the room cozy and warm.
The old made new.
Where is your heart today?
God only wants to make you new.
- By refreshing your soul so you can plow through this week with a joy-filled heart.
- By embracing the challenges before you even encounter them.
- By loving you right where you’re at.
What troubles you most? The distractions that keep you far from God’s reach.
REFLECTION: Where in your life do you need to take a chance on God giving Him permission to make the old new again?
Psalm 51:10-12
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
“The old made new….It’s YOU!!!”
