Human nature wants the most benefit with the least amount of discipline. Like schools of fish, people generally swim in their culture. This happens without much conscious thought. It seems that once a year, at the New Year, some may stop to consider their behaviors and evaluate their choices. Most habits are formed by time and chance. Familiarity is the enemy of change. In order to embrace the new, we have to be willing to let go of the old. In Christ we are new creations. Scripture teaches us that the old has passed away and all things have become new. What perspectives, traditions, behaviors, habits, mindsets do you need to let go of, in order to make way for the new? It begins with a willingness to be open and evaluate. Once God reveals that there is a better way, idea, perspective or choice, then it is time to LET IT GO!
