Pastor Tan preached the message of "Seizing The Moment" in the weekend services this week...
"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven..." Ecclesiastes 3:1
Yes, there is always a time for everything. When we pass through different phases in life, there are different things that we are doing in that season. It is a period of transition and it can be something new that we are stepping into.
Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, 'The old is better.'" Luke 5:36-39
You know what? God is a forward moving god. He doesn't remain stagnant but He always looks forward. He doesn't dwell in the past nor does He look back at the old times. But that is the problem with many of us, we always dwell in the past. The thing is, we got to look forward and stop dwelling on the past. The past is good but the future is even better. Old wine does taste better and when you try or drink something new, you might not like it immediately and you may start criticising it but new things are always better. The future is always better. When we are in a period of transition, we may not immediately like the new thing we are doing but that's because you have been comfortable. In this case, you have to make the shift from your comfort zone. We may take some time to adapt but isn't it always better? Start looking forward and seize the moment!
