Sometimes it's difficult to understand Holy Scripture; we think we understand some of what is written, then there comes a line or two that really doesn't seem to go with what proceeds or follows.
Take, for instance, unshrunken cloth and new wine skins. Is it a commentary, of sorts, on the value of new things? Or is it rather a lesson on the importance of having some "order of precedence" in our lives: that is, doing what is most important and fundamental before charging ahead with things that are not?
Prayer must be the preeminent activity in my life, lest I damage the cloak given for my salvation or have an old tired-out heart unprepared to receive the ever-new love of God.
