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.

Overcoming Shadows of Fear

Leave a comment

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

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.

The Divine Transformation of Family Relationships

Leave a comment

Family is often described as the cornerstone of our lives, providing love, support, and a sense of belonging. Yet, family relationships can be complex and challenging. These issues can cause rifts that strain family bonds, leading to hurtful feelings and emotional turmoil. In such moments, it can be easy to lose hope and despair. In times of discord or turmoil within our families, turning to faith and seeking the guidance of God can offer us profound healing and transformation.

My soul seeks a haven,
A place of refuge and love.
When relationships become strained,
I turn to God, my guiding light,
Forever, a blessing from above.
In times of strife, distress, and pain,
Prayers to the Lord I seek.

When faced with the seeming challenges within our families, many of us turn to our faith for guidance and support. Prayer, meditation, patience, and seeking spiritual counsel can provide us with the strength and clarity needed to navigate these difficult situations. In these moments of surrender, we often find our relationship with God deepening and our hearts becoming open to the possibility of healing within our families.

In His grace, I find solace and peace,
A love eternal so deep.
The bond between a child and parent,
One of tenderness and care.
And in times of trouble,
God is always near.

Our relationships with our families are some of the most important, and enduring connections in our lives. We can turn to God for guidance and support when these relationships face challenges. Through prayer, patience, empathy, forgiveness, and the transformative power of God’s love, we can experience healing and reconciliation within our families. No matter how broken or strained a family relationship may seem, with faith, hope, and a willingness to change, God can help us find a path toward restoration and renewed connection with our loved ones.
