Old Things are of Great Worth

Posted on by Marla
Old things, don’t mean thrown out things
Old things are best when used…
Old things, are not worn out things…
They’ve been to the mountains
And the valley of despair
Survived desert places
But God was there…
They’ve been forged in fire…
And tossed on stormy seas…
Weary and tired…wondering what would be…
They always cried out…God help me…
Over rough roads and valley’s these old things have trod…
The Ancient of age, no birth had He, for He, was God…
Until He sent Jesus, then alive, made He…
Old things remain and old things will stand
When created by God’s all seeing hand…
With resilience and fortitude they walk this land…
Maybe not so fast, anymore, but their hearts withstand
Trials and tests on roads that they’ve walked,
Sometimes persecuted and sometimes mocked…
With wisdom and memories of what has been…
Old things are new things that begin again…
The cycle of life is like a wedding ring…
There is no beginning, and, no ending…
A covenant; it’s God’s continuous plan…
You see, God made old things and he called them man…
Within each soul that enters earth’s domain…
God says, it is good and it shall remain…
Sending His son, whose blood was shed
Makes us alive, when once we were dead…
The blood is the life source; making us thrive…
The perfect sacrifice that makes us alive…
God sees the blood, he knows who are His…
Old things are not forsaken; each child He will kiss…
Sending His love with His promise…
Time is relative only on earth…
The soul of man with this new birth…
Makes old things, become new things…
And with this brings…
Eternal living with a new song to sing…
Thank you Jesus for giving me wings…
The body grows weary and returns to dust…
But old things made by God’s hands will never rust…
For the blood of Jesus is what we must trust…
For old things; are only new things; waiting to be seen…
Behold, God makes everything, brand new again…

Revelation 1:8 King James Version (KJV) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
