“Then He added, ‘Every
teacher of religious law who becomes a disciple of the Kingdom of Heaven is
like a homeowner who brings from his storeroom new gems of truth as well as
old.’” Mathew 14:52
It took a while to
find today’s passage. This is a time of many distractions, tasks to do, errands
to run, the usual life stuff only amped up as the reno date comes closer. I am
also taking time to lay new kitchen flooring at work for purely selfish
reasons. The existing vinyl flooring is beyond redemption and hasn’t looked
clean for years. Even hands and knees scrubbing with a brush failed to make a
difference. After today’s post, I am heading over there to install the new
flooring and am excited to do so!
The company I am
dealing with for my own renos gave the centre, a non-profit organization, a
great price for the new flooring. A local business blessed us with a generous
grant to help improve our space. It all has come together.
And really it’s an
answer to my prayers and oft repeated truth, “The kitchen floor is the bane of
my existence! It gets washed and washed but never looks clean! We need new
flooring!”
The comment was
getting as old and tired as the floor. (Smile.)
There’s a new coat of paint for
the place in the works as well but, thankfully, someone else is taking care of
that.
I have no idea how
this ties into today’s passage…except to realize my workplace is part of the
Kingdom of God and, as a follower of Jesus and an employee, I can appeal to God
for anything that is needed there!
God’s storeroom is
limitless.
AMEN!
