I love to see people who try new things (good things). Those who join peanut butter and sausage, string instruments and intercession. I wonder if David ever used a bow on his lyre?
New things help us connect with God, if we want to. They help us learn about change, the security of the uncertain and the beauty of uncertainty. I know most of us order the same thing every time we go out to eat. But what if we learned to love new things, even the new things that God is doing.
Some of the schools in our town are purposed to be closed. There is quite an outcry. I understand that a part of history is being closed (not lost). Long ago I left my mom and dad to start a life on my own. It shut the door to my old history and gave me a new history. This happens personally, with organizations and with God. Next year me and God are going to be doing some new history things.
Maybe if we leaned to enjoy things wonderful we would have more than one type of music in our meetings, more than one soft drink in our refrigerators and more than one method of devotion to God.
Why not shock the world today and try something new.
