Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; if they do, the skins burst, the wine runs out, and the skins are lost. No; they put new wine into fresh skins and both are preserved.
Mt.9:17
Jesus is asked why his followers don't fast as John the Baptist's followers and the Pharisees do. In reply, Jesus introduces a new discipline in place of rote fasting, the discipline of discernment.
There is a time for every purpose under heaven, a time for fasting and a time for feasting. Seasons and circumstance change. I need to be discerning in my Christian walk but I don't trust my own discernment. I need the wisdom, discernment and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Come Holy Spirit, fall afresh on me.
