The Stones

For some days, I noticed the constant references to ‘stones” in the scriptures. In the back of my mind was a gentle whisper,yet, I did not know what to do with it, However, my daily reading built a log of the mentioned stones. I am sure there are more, but below is what He gave me as I pondered and asked many questions. His Word is so alive and He desires us to hear His heart. Sometimes, He simply draws us to something such as stones that we might connect the dots. Taking a journey in His Word is nothing short of adventurous.

The Stones

There was a stone that served as a pillow

For the Christ to lay His head

And stones of glorious gemstones

In an ephod of Israel’s stead.

There were stones that slain a giant

Hurled by a zealous youth

And stones which held commandments

Written by Moses true.

There were stones of remembrance

Building a mound of unfailing grace

And stones prepared as weapons

“To stone” the pagan worshiping ways.

There were stones that were dropped unused

When a woman was brought to Christ

And don’t forget the great millstone

That halted Abimelech’s fright.

There were pitchers of stone filled with blood

When Aaron stretched out his rod

And stones prepared to cry out loud

If ceased the disciples cause.

There were stones erected

condemned by God

If any man should bow

And a “Stone” by meaning which Christ declared

For Simon Peter proud.

There was a stone…a chief cornerstone

Rejected by builders of men

He was the stone, a living stone

A chosen Shepherd that tends.

And lastly a stone did seal the Christ

Into a cave of His grave

But on the third day, death lost its sting

And the stone was rolled away.
