Things New and Old
Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto
the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that
is an householder, which bringeth forth out of
his treasures things new and old
Matt 13:52
We all have things we treasured,
kept them in our possession for a long time
Took really good care of them,
watched over them like a nursing father
or a doting mother
Then whenever we present them to someone,
they look like new
Miraculously new
It's amazing how those old things
still look the way they do
As for the new things,
over time they become old too
Things new and old,
when seen together, both look the same
Gleaming and sparkling
Like a coat of freshly layered paint
Things new and old,
they both look like shining gold
That is why the stewards of God are called saints
We keep the precious things of God,
placed in our heart,
looking brand new
They look the same way today,
as they did the first moment to us
they were given to
