these dry bones
these dry bones, have known the weight of dust. they have lain beneath old grief, buried under words I could not speak and prayers I thought had gone unheard. these dry bones, remember every wilderness. every season without rain, every night without answers, every road that left me too tired to believe there was still…

Deadly Flesh
The flesh makes promisesit was never born to keep.It says, take what you want,feed every hunger,call every craving freedom.but some appetites arrive smilingwith graves hidden in their mouths.Sin does not always enter loudly.sometimes it comes dressed as pleasure,soft as velvet,warm as skin,sweet enough to make consequencefeel very far away.The body reaches.The spirit warns.and somewhere between…

Give Me Your Darkest Hour
I knelt beneath a moonless sky,With weary heart and tear-filled eye.The silence broke—a voice so near,It spoke with love that conquered fear.”My child,” God said, “why hide from Me?Why guard the chains that keep you bound?I’ve seen the depths you cannot see,Yet still My grace and love abound.”I bowed my head. “Lord, if You knewThe…

HIS GRACE
By the grace of God, my darkness ended.Through night’s tunnel, my soul He tended.Through many nights and countless days,He held my hand; He led the way.He stroked my heart so soft, so tender,To my supplication He did render,An answer to my pleading prayer:“Give me strength, for if I am to bearSuch heartache, anguish and blinding…

A POEM A DAY 191
ETERNAL COVENANT Arched in the sky, a bow of light,A promise etched in hues so bright.Genesis whispers, ancient tale,Of floodwaters past and God’s prevail.A sign of peace, a covenant made,Between earth and heaven, never to fade.God’s pledge in colors vivid, bold,A story of mercy forever told.Yet man, with curious mind and heart,Assigns new meanings, tears…

A POEM A DAY 183
genesis When God did speak, the void was filled with light,He shaped the heavens, spread stars across the sky.With whispered breath, He crafted day and night,And set the sun and moon to rise on high.The waters parted, lands began to form,Green fields and mountains, valleys lush and wide.He breathed on dust, gave life in earthly…

A POEM A DAY 181
HE IS Elohim, Creator, in the beginning,Spoke the stars into their spinning.Adonai, Lord of all, sovereign might,Guiding us through darkest night.Jehovah Jireh, Provider true,In every need, He sees us through.El Shaddai, Almighty One,Under His wings, the battle’s won.Jehovah Rapha, Healer near,Mending hearts, wiping every tear.El Roi, God who sees,In hidden places, our silent pleas.Jehovah Shalom,…
