Thank you God for our inscribed laws you placed on a stone tablet revealing yourself unto Moses that we may gain knowledge of our creator and learn that only through you shall we be set free from captivity which has sentenced all to death due to sins one that takes notice from that time to present can see clearly that with man alone not even the first laws if one given can be followed they act as if they are intoxicated staggering unable to focus and read unaware of the left foot trying to lead one to stumble off the ledge falling and tumbling into the pit I thank you Lord for the courage you instilled in David as he picked out his stone knowing that with your guidance he would defeat the giant teaching us to fear not the one that can only harm the body,but come to know you which is in control of body and soul I thank you for your son Jesus for through this covenant the laws from the stone tablet have been inscribed on hearts and minds for none can escape their judgment And for showing all to drop the stone from their hands that where so eager to throw and focus more on oneself, remembering we our all sentenced to death until we are reborn giving wisdom of the battle is not of the seen but the unseen serpent that crawls in the dark which has already been defeated on that third day when the stone was rolled away when all the labor pains of the world was delivered unto a new existence bringing forth guidance unto the narrow path I am thankful you have shown me I was rolling a stone over the only one which could set me free crucifying Him daily in my heart preventing any connection to spark living in own desires blind to my surroundings How could I grow when the stone blocked out all light , leaving me to wonder in darkness I was a dead piece of wood which had been washed up from the sea trying to make since of this new land in search, to be ignited to glow For only by calling on the resurrection power of Jesus shall the stone be rolled away busting it into pieces from His word allowing the Lord to make himself known within now learning to crucify myself daily that I may bring glory to Jesus which saved me calling on the Lord to find dwelling in thy heart buring the oldself and being resurrected by His spirit building from the cornerstone once rejected in order to build within the Kingdom
