Time To Make Everything New

As men we, in general, don’t like to stay behind with the old. It could be the motorcar you are driving, the old tv in your lounge. It could be the job you have been stuck in for ages, maybe the marriage that is not working out. During our years in this world we want something new, some more often than others. I have purchased motorcars every two to three years at one stage of my life, always seeking a newer or better looking one. Now I accept what I have and go years before contemplating to purchase another. The same goes with our ‘boys toys’ as many men love. If John buys a new superbike, then we want one. If Joe buys a new Mercedes, then we want a better one.

What about our spiritual life? When does that need to be made newer? When do we want something better than we have right now? In Revelation 21:5 God speaks to us and speaks a great truth. It says the following; “He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’” There you have it! The Lord our God is the one who can come and make things new again. Even we need to get restored at times, made new all over again. We may think it is beyond hope, but God can make it new – our marriages, our characters, our attitudes, our hearts and souls, etc.

God comes and turns things around so that we can start over again. Many a times we need a new fresh start. It may be time to make things new once again, and only He who is the true and living God can do that for us. We can’t do it on our own. It may start well but disaster usually strikes because our plans were not well thought about. God is the answer when it comes to renewing. Give Him the right of way to come and cause change to take place. He brings real change in all your situations. Is it time to make everything new? Then step aside and allow God to do what He has planned for you, then see all the new kick in. Amen.
