Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
Once again God has decided to speak twice to me today. In a woman’s bible study I do every morning, our verse today was from Mark 2:22, “And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
I was reading a response from one of the ladies. She was reminded of a gentleman at church who always answers “I am highly favored” when you ask him how he is doing. One time someone had tried to repeat him and it came out ‘highly flavored’. His response was simply, “Yes I am because we are called to be the salt of the earth.” Well, this lady tied the two thoughts together this morning. Can you imagine how awful the new wine would taste after being in the old skins? Can anyone say Vinegar! We would not be so highly flavored!
Mark 2:22 went well with today’s verse. We are chosen, holy, and dearly loved. We need to put on those new garments every day so we can show compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. In order to pour those things out of you, you must first pour them in and that means cleaning out the old junk. You don’t want to go through your day dishing out vinegar. You want to pour out that sweet healing wine! You want to be highly flavored!
Lord, today help me be Highly Flavored! I want to show compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience all around. ~amen
