Jesus said that you can't put new wine into old wine skins, or the wine will burst the skins and both will be ruined, (Matthew 9:17). The same is true when God wants to make a change in our lives. If God tries to step into your tiny tent and reveal to you all the stars in the sky, He'll end up destroying your tent. So what does He do? He calls you to stretch your tent curtains wide. Your tent is the border the defines where you end. God is calling you to stretch your tent curtains wide--He wants you to break out of your boundary lines and go beyond what you thought possible. He is stretching you beyond what you think your limits are; He's calling you to be new wine skin so that He can pour His new wine--His vision and plan--into you and it won't break you. But first, He must stretch you.
Stretch your thinking wide, for God wants to do something new in you--something He's not done in you before. Do not give way to fear; do not hold back. Give God everything. Stretch your tent curtains wide!
AMEN, sista! Very timely word! Enjoying the way God uses you to speak His messages forth. Love your "style": short & to the point: a lot of "meat" to chew on in a such a "small portion"...very powerful. Did you know that dynamite comes in small packages?!!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSimple truth: small packages often contain the most valuable things.
