Luke 5:36-39 (NKJV)

36 Then He spoke a parable to them: �No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. 37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. 

39 And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, �The old is better.�� 

Reflections:

We as humans tend to easily get bogged down in life�s ruts. We become victims of habit. We don�t like change, even if it becomes obvious that there ought to be change. There are times when we know we really should take a stand for that which is right, but we don�t. The reason we don�t is because of fear of being in unfamiliar spiritual territory, and of course � what will people think? 

Perhaps the Holy Spirit has brought us to one of those divine intersections where we must choose the old, or the new wine. Here are a few guidelines for consideration:

�         Don�t settle for compromise by simply going along with the crowd.

�         Don�t take the easy way out.

�         Trust God; go His way � no matter what.

�         Defend God and His Word, don�t walk by sight, but rather walk by faith.

�         Gauge all things spiritually. 

Down deep inside each of us is an unleashed passion to do something radical for God; something in us longs to break out and be free. Why not let God have your adventure-spirit and allow the Holy Spirit to direct your paths. It you do, you too will drink of new wine ï¿½
