There is a song by Chace Skelton who has a song called Throw The Stones Away and I thought Ecclesiastes verse 5 was a great reflection in how even if we gather stones, or scatter them, and even if it's hard to let go at times, we can throw away the stones that hurt us and that don't show the side of us that make us who we are as a Child Of God, and then we can gather the good stones that make us who we are today in Christ and scatter them in different places to show the beauty in the radiance of Hope in Jesus, and show who we were made in The Image Of Him.
Romans 8 verse 38-39- For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I have a friend whose name is Bianca Mendoza and she has a song called Give Me Some Love and I thought Romans 8 verse 38-39 was one of those scriptures that fit perfectly with her song because God gives us Love everyday, and as a Child Of God, well we should want to give some love back to those who need it, to those who are feeling lost and to those who need a friend, and we should want to follow Christ's Example and love others and those close to us, because God will help us through and through daily.
Psalm 16 verse 5- Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
I know another friend and His name is Tom Taylor and He has a song called Just Me And Jesus and Psalm 16 verse 5, I thought was a scripture that fit well with His Song because sometimes when it's you and Jesus, you can have that time to where you can tell Jesus anything and you can tell Him your worries and anxieties and you can be sure that Jesus is always with you in everything you face.
Luke 12 verse 27- “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
This song by Johan Glidden, well in this scripture I'd like to think of how even when the flowers grow just like His song Called Consider the Lilies, well we as children of God also grow in the Body Of Christ and we also need nourishment to grow, and when we grow whether it is how we are supposed to grow up in different ways, or how we grow spiritually, we realize that when we grow spiritually with Christ, we become this new creation in Christ that gives us new life and gives us wisdom in our hearts.
Psalm 23 verse 4- Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
In this scripture I thought the song by Caleb Andrew called Holy (In The Valley), was a great reason as any to use Psalm 23 verse 4, because it reminds that even our darkest days, in the worst moments, in the trials, in the not so good days, that even when we walk through the darkest valley, we won't fear the enemy, because God is with us and His Rod and Staff, comfort us because God is the greatest Comforter that we have, and we realize that, what else is there to know except that we don't have to be afraid, because we can give it to Him in Prayer and He will always lift us up, every single time out.
Romans 12 verse 12- Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
I want to say with this scripture that it reminded me of a song done by Jon Lind, that is called Pray It Anyway, and to me that resonated with me because with this scripture and that song title, well you could also say that Pray It Anyway by Jon Lind, and Don't Stop Stop Praying by Matthew West, go hand in hand with this scripture of Romans 12 verse 12, because we all need prayer, and we all need to pray for one another because when we pray together as a whole in the Body Of Christ, we are allowing ourselves to be One In The Spirit, and One In Christ. I think we all need to be reminded of that as we go through our weeks, and every day because when we Pray, and when we share our prayers with others and with God, we are giving our concerns, our anxieties, and what we are facing not just in prayer, but letting others and Jesus know our hearts and know what is bothering us, and so let our hearts resonate with Prayer always.
Philippians 2 verses 3-4- Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
I wanted to end on this scripture, because I want us to remember everything that we have learned from earlier and take it to heart in the humility and always show kindness at heart.
