Breaking The Jewish Code Perry Stone

The power of inspired music, such as hymns and spiritual songs, can not only edify and lift up a person’s spirit, but it can also relieve emotional and spiritual distress and stress. David proved this when he played a harp and King Saul, who was mentally tormented, was refreshed and made well (1Sam. 16:23). Fulfilling Your Life Cycles Psalm 90:12 says, “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” All living things move through cycles. The moon experiences four cycles, which mark one month. The earth circles the sun in 365.25 days, making one year. Just as the earth experiences four distinct seasons of spring, summer, fall, and winter, our lives move from the youth of spring, to the growth of summer, into the maturity of fall, and into the closing days of our life represented by winter. Each human life cycle has a new level of maturity and spiritual responsibility. Spiritual maturity is not automatically inbred at birth but is taught by example, instruction from the Word, and by prayer. This is why Peter wrote that believers should, “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet. 3:18). Be in prayer that you and your children will fulfill all your days, each of you completing your specific life cycle and destiny. ■ ■ ■ ✡ ■ ■ ■
