We're walking in the new in 2022!

New Years resolutions are great, but they don't go very far if we don't take inventory of our lives and see what doesn't belong. You cannot walk into the new if you aren't willing to let of the old.

In the bible, God created a group of people, called the Israelites, and set them apart to live only for Him, cutting out anything in their lives that is not a direct command from Him. Eventually God's people Israel found themselves in slavery under the nation of Egypt because they began to worship gods belonging to the Egyptians. As God set them free from slavery, they had to leave behind their old idols and walk into the promised land God promised them. Similarly, we have to trust God by walking into the destiny He has for us and leave behind the old ways of life that do not reflect God's destiny for us.

Transitioning into God's plan and leaving behind our old plans can be a lot of work, and we don't always see the eternal value in giving up our current life for something better, but if we ever want to embrace the New Start God has for us, we have no choice but to abandon the old and step into the new.
