Small Gifts Leading to Greater Rewards

Life has moments where we overlook the seemingly small and insignificant things that come our way. When God gives us something small, He builds our faith, patience, and stewardship, preparing us for the beauties of life. So please stay faithful, and be anxious for nothing.

It may appear challenging and insignificant but understand that He values our efforts to utilize and cultivate what He has given, regardless of its size. By faithfully managing the small things, we create an opportunity for God to bless us with greater blessings and responsibilities.

With small gifts, the character grows,
Preparing me for blessings that overflow.
An invitation to grow and soar,
To embrace with diligence.

A journey of a thousand miles,
a single step begins,
In the smallest seeds,
the bigger harvest spins.

I am trusting in God’s timing.
For in these beginnings,
His best plans unfold,
Leading to blessings a thousandfold.

The Ark of Gopher Wood

I have been through tough times where I have wondered why everywhere seems so silent and yet noisy in my head. As time passed, I continued to learn to place my trust in God. The Ark of Gopher Wood is a timeless symbol of hope, salvation, and divine protection. Just like Noah, we are called to trust in God’s promises and obey His commands, knowing, that he is faithful to fulfill His words. It serves as a reminder that, even amid life’s storms, God remains faithful to His promises.

Beneath heavens’ weeping eye,
Amidst the flood’s relentless roar,
Echoes of chaos threatened to engulf me,
The noise, the stress, a relentless flood.

Within this storm, I sought sanctuary,
A refuge from the turmoil,
An ark of gopher wood,
A bold vessel sailing me on life’s tumulous sea.

Knowing that God’s grace will carry me,
For in the ark of gopher wood,
I find strength for the journey,
peace for my mind.

Overcoming Shadows of Fear

Fear, a fundamental human emotion, has been part of my life’s journey at some stage. It’s a sensation we all encounter frequently. Whether it’s fear of the unknown, fear of failure, or fear of rejection, it can often hold us back from living our lives to the fullest. However, we have a powerful source of strength and courage to draw upon.

We can find strength, fortitude, and peace to overcome fear by anchoring ourselves in the truth of God’s Word. Psalm 27:1 reminds us, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”

In shadows deep, fear creeps into my soul,
My heart grows heavy, and I weep,
But lo, a light, a hope so near,
Guiding me through the dark.

For God has said,
“Fear not, for I am with you.”
With strength renewed, my fears I face,
In His embrace, I find courage.

Though fear may knock on my door,
It cannot hold me down,
I break through walls of fear,
And tremble no more.

Facing Hard Truths

I remember when I was young and thought all sorts of religions and belief systems would ultimately lead us to God. Listening to a morning devotion through an application on my phone called “Glorify” reminded me of this bias in the world.

In the Bible, Jesus unequivocally declares, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). His life, death, and resurrection are understood to be the ultimate revelation of God’s love and grace. Faith in Jesus is the only means of reconciliation with God and eternal life.

In the vast expanse where shadows roam,
A voice echoes, clear as a bell’s tone.
“I am the way, the truth, the life,” it cries,
Guiding souls through darkness to brighter skies.

Through valleys deep and mountains high,
This truth endures.
With unwavering faith, we take each step,
In His love and mercy, we find our depth.

Let his guiding light make you whole.
For in Him alone, true freedom lies,
“I am the way, the truth, the life,” He cries.
