12-27-2010. . . .INHALE. . . .EXHALE!
"No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved." (Matt 9:16-17 NIV) Human respiration consist of two phases; Inspiration and Expiration. During the inspiration phase, we inhale fresh oxygen into our lungs which is then, distributed via our blood stream, to all parts of our bodies. During the expiration phase, we exhale the used unwanted gases (CO2) that if they remained, would be very harmful to us. As we prepare for the new year, we must check our respiration! Breath in (Allow) only those things (and people) that renew, refresh and replenish our body, mind and most importantly, our spirit. Expel everything (including everybody) that if it (or they) remain in our lives, will be harmful, hurtful, and a hindrance to us. C'mon now; INHALE. . . . .EXHALE!
Prayer: Lord, thank you for 2010! It is only through your favor that we stand at the completion of another year. Guide us now through the Inspiration/Expiration process, as we prepare for the new year. Amen.
Matt 9:16-17. . . . No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. KJV
