Just because something is new does not mean it is better and just because something is old does not mean it needs to be replaced. In fact, our country needs to get back to those “old paths.

I do not want to shock anybody, but everything new is eventually getting
old. 

This came to me quite disappointingly when I recently put on my favorite
necktie for church. My wife said, “Are you wearing that tie again? 
Don't you think you ought to get a new tie?” 

It was my favorite tie and now I am being told it is old and needs
replacing. Which brings me to the disturbing question; does everything 
old need to be replaced? 

If that is true, I am in serious trouble. 

I guess I am at the stage of life where new is not very much of
attraction to me. I like the old and I am not ashamed of it. 

I can appreciate what the prophet Jeremiah said. “Thus saith the LORD,
Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the 
good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But 
they said, We will not walk therein” (Jeremiah 6:16). 

Just because something is new does not mean it is better and just
because something is old does not mean it needs to be replaced. In 
fact, our country needs to get back to those “old paths.
