I have always been interested in things that are new. My wife picks on me because I have to buy every new flavor of soda, bubble gum or potato chip. My logic is that new things are enjoyable, because they are new.
When we read the Bible we read about a new heart, a new spirit, a new covenant, a new and living way, a new song, a new heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells, a new commandment, being a new creature in Christ, being a new man with a new self (a new convert), and my favorite; a new Jerusalem.
Perhaps now I understand why I love God and His word so much. He will one day make all things new, but in the meantime, He has given me all kinds of new things to enjoy and look forward to. Praise God for He is a God of newness.
“The LORD’S lovingkindnesss indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. {They} are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lam 3:22-23)
