Jeremiah 31:22b
The LORD will create a new thing on earth
In the scripture above the Lord was using the prophet Jeremiah to tell the people to return to the Lord because he was ready to show compassion. The Lord wanted to do a new thing but it meant faithfulness from the people of Israel.
The Lord wants to do a new thing in us and through in the new year. In order to do this, we must turn away from our rebelious ways.
2Kings 2:20-21
20 "Bring me a new bowl," he said, "and put salt in it." So they brought it to him. 21 Then he went out to the spring and threw the salt into it, saying, "This is what the LORD says: 'I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive.'
Salt was used to purify and preserve. In the scripture above the prophet Elisha asked for a new bowl. Why? If he used an old bowl then it would contain the same impurities that contaminated the water in the first place. What does this mean for us?
We absolutely cannot take the same attitudes, habits, past hurts and even some people with us into the new year because they will contaminate that which the Lord seeks to purify and make anew.
LET HIM CREATE A NEW YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
