THOUGHTS WITH SAM | THE PROVERBS 31 WOMAN PT.2

[@sophiefredricks1692]

Something super cool about her clothing being fine linen and purple is that it's the same material that the Lord told Moses to build the Tabernacle with and clothe Aaron and his sons with in Exodus 26-28. So from that point of view, it's also about clothing herself in a way that brings glory and honor to God😎 (cause thanks to Jesus our body is now the Lord’s temple)

I think I cried a little when I saw the title- I’ve never seen a man so passionate about this topic!!! It’s inspiring, i really didn’t think alot of men understand the Proverbs 31 study. 😢 Have a blessed day

[@samreedmusic]

You too!!!

[@emmalizmclemore]

praise the Lord for your eagerness to share the word, this blessed me this morning!

[@michael5455]

really appreciate this series man!! i recently got close with this girl and ive been asking God to let me know whether pursuing her is his plan for me and over the past week we've only gotten closer and more comfortable at speaking about the Lord with each other, we pray for each other and ive invited her to events at my church and shes done the same as well and she already holds so many values of a God-fearing woman! anyways we're still both really young(17) and have a lot to learn in our faith but this series has really helped me to plan out the next chapter of my walk with God and shown me what i can do to lead our relationship closer to God. God willing i will marry this girl one day!! thank you so much brother, God bless you🙏

[@michael5455]

also i think the other channel is a good idea, possibly it could lead non-beleivers to this channel where they can learn how God has blessed you and been faithful to you and perhaps plant seeds to bring people to Christ

[@amyosmaston2344]

Thanks for this series - loved hearing your thoughts on it! I think a second channel for music sounds good!

[@lexigrace4000]

I really enjoy these. I've been leveling up in my walk with God recently and I have never been attacked like this in my life your worship videos are also super awsome Anyway, these videos keep me grounded an example of a Godly man. And I don't mean a sinles man because I know how it gets 😅 But still a Godly man thank you for doing these as I pray God blesses you Like He blessed Job without all the pain though 😱

In response to your question about secular music, my first answer is always to pray about it and ask the Lord. He will confirm what His will is. As you so beautifully said, this channel has been set apart by God. He’s guided you thus far. Just food for thought, maybe considering the motive behind the urge to create secular music. Where is that desire coming from, the Lord or elsewhere? And if it’s not from the Lord, is it truly something worth pursuing or a distraction? Please hear my heart, it’s not for condemnation just wanting the Lord’s blessing to be so present in your life. He’s where the joy is. Thank you for always being diligent in creating and maintaining the purity of your content. 😊

[@samreedmusic]

Food for thought!

shout out to the bees

[@austinbessire]

Saaaamm!! It's a good day brother!

[@samreedmusic]

It sure is!

[@owen_d7783]

I think you should do a different channel, and then drop the link when you drop a video there. Those that would like to listen will and those that won't won't.

[@samreedmusic]

Facts

[@carlaalmonte6788]

Hey Sam, I think you should make a different channel for the secular music. It reminded me of these verses: Romans 14:14-15. Hope you find it helpful 🤍 Btw, I was hoping Ruby to purr on the mic😿

[@matty_whitmore]

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching one another in all wisdom, through psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all for the glory of God. (Paraphrasing a bit) - Colossians 3:16-17 I think with a channel for secular music, genuinely ask the Lord if the reason He convicted you it doesn’t fit on this channel which you’re saying God has blessed, is actually just because you releasing secular music won’t glorify Him. It’s not for me to say one way or the other, but I thought it was interesting you used the verbiage “God set this channel apart” for your content here, and then “I still have an urge” for potentially doing secular content elsewhere. Just something to consider brother. Another awesome video, really ministering graciously to and about ladies. Bless you!

[@samreedmusic]

Thanks for your wisdom bro!

I think creating a separate channel for your "secular" music is a great idea. I use quotes because even if songs don't directly mention God by name, they can still glorify Him. A song about love glorifies God because He is the embodiment of love and created love for us humans to experience. Athletes run races, neurosurgeons study the brain, photographers take pictures, and on the surface, these things don't seem related to God, but they actually are. Athletes demonstrate the reward of discipline and practice, which God values. Neurosurgeons explaining how the brain works demonstrates the complexity of the mind and how God has given us the great gift of free will and thought. Pictures show us the beauty of God's creation. Even dental hygienists demonstrate the importance of treating your body like a temple and taking care of it! I think people are too hard on creatives sometimes, but as long as what you do is done well and doesn't include anything that glorifies sin or contradicts God or His Word, then I believe God is proud of your work. He would never look at one of His children's abstract pieces of art and be mad that it doesn't depict the cross, if you know what I mean. Not everything has to have a direct reference to Him. Indirect references are good, too. :) Take C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, for example. The Chronicles of Narnia and the Lord of the Rings never directly mention God, but have thematic elements that glorify Him.

[@samreedmusic]

I LITERALLY COULDNT HAVE SAID THIS BETTER MYSELF GOD BLESS YOU!!!

[@conneryade]

If you want to be sanctified, support Man United and the lord will teach you patience and longsuffering 🤣💀

[@samreedmusic]

Hahahahahah facts

[@saramadanat7828]

I agree with the prior comment of @matty_whitmore . Truly appreciate you being vulnerable and sharing your thoughts with us regarding secular country music, this is actually something i've struggled with as I love country music but recently have stopped listening to them and instead created a christian country songs playlist. We need to be careful with what we consume, and be honest with ourselves. What thoughts does listening to these songs elicit? Is it causing me to daydream and fantasize? Does this glorify our Father? We belong to our Father and so every aspect of our lives must be dedicated to Him🤍 Satan is very strategic, it starts seemingly innocent and small then snowballs. Please pray and fast about this and instead of secular country consider making christian country songs. Love & blessings 💖
