Furnace of Iron

Leave a comment

In the crucible of life, change acts as a furnace of iron, relentlessly shaping and refining our journey. Just as iron transforms in the furnace, we evolve through the endings and beginnings that punctuate our existence.

The Bible tells the story of Job, a righteous and wealthy man who faces a series of devastating trials orchestrated by Satan. In the end, According to Job 42: 12-17, God restores Job’s fortunes and blesses him with greater prosperity than before, highlighting Job’s unwavering faith and resilience throughout his trials.

In the furnace’s fiery glow, 

iron’s tale unfolds,

leaving me exposed and vulnerable,

ye my spirit rising higher.

Embracing the heat of the flames, 

with courage in my heart.

I emerge refined,

In a faith that will never tire.

For in the depths of suffering’s night,

shines the beacon of divine light.

I’ll face each new beginning,

with triumph in my heart.

The Ark of Gopher Wood

6 Comments

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.

Seeds in The Wind

3 Comments

In the past, I battled with thoughts of negativity and self-doubt, allowing these seeds to take root and flourish in my life. But now, I often reflect to ensure that I am sowing seeds of love, compassion, and faith. Sowing seeds with intention holds immense significance. Just as a farmer carefully selects the best seeds for planting, we must be intentional about the thoughts, words, and actions we cultivate in our lives.

Like dandelion fluff in the breeze,
Seeds of gloom dance with me,
Sown by hands unseen,
In my heart, I sowed the dark seeds.

With every gust, a prayer takes flight.
Guided by stars in the darkest night,
Across mountains high and valleys low,
Seeds of grace I seek.

For what I sow, I shall surely reap,
In the harvest of faith, our souls will keep.
For in the journey of faith, we find,
That we are but seeds in the wind.

In the book of Galatians 6: 7-9 it is written: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”

Like the rock that withstands the test of time, resilient love endures the storms of life. Couples who weather challenges together emerge stronger and more united.

“Honey Out of the Rock highlights the miraculous provision of God, who can bring forth abundance and blessings from the most unlikely sources.”

Facing Hard Truths

Leave a comment

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.
