My name is Mark. I’m just an old country boy. I give God all the Glory
My heart He filled April 26, 2021, with rhyming  joy.

God showed up and gave the gift of rhyming to me
I now share it with all who listen for His Beauty to see

Mark my Words

           The Greatest Gift

Why I write, I’ll share with you, 
A journey deep, a purpose true,
To bring forth words from soul to page,
To touch the hearts of every age.

I write to share the thoughts inside,
To heal, to soothe, to be a guide,
To bring a smile, a tear of joy,
Or moments sad, yet not destroy.

My poems live within the mind,
Yet fully breathe when they are kind,
To those who read and feel the weight,
Of emotions shared, of love and fate.

For poems are not complete alone,
They thrive when hearts have fully known,
The gift of words, from soul to pen,
A whisper sent from Heaven, then.

The greatest gift a poet sees,
Is knowing words can set minds free,
To stir the heart, inspire flight,
This is why, dear friend, I write.

For God’s Honor and Glory

God Is So Good

God is so good
more faithful than morning light,
more steady than mountains,
more tender than the quiet night.

He is taking me places
I never dreamed I’d stand
paths I once feared to travel,
now guided by His hand.

He opened doors I never knocked on,
He spoke peace where I felt fear,
He turned valleys into victory
and wiped away every tear.

I once wondered if He heard me
if my prayers reached past the sky.
But now I see His fingerprints
in every how and why.

Not every step has been easy,
not every season felt kind
but through every storm and struggle,
He reshaped my heart and mind.

Now I walk with quiet confidence,
with gratitude understood
because God is so, so faithful
and God is so, so good.

And where He leads, I’ll follow,
with trust—not fear—instead,
for the road behind reminds me:
He’s already gone ahead. ✨

For God’s Honor and Glory

Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By Mark Waldrop

Verse of the Day:
"John 14:1-3 - Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

Reflection:
In John 14, Jesus offers profound comfort to His disciples during a time of uncertainty and fear. His words are not just for them but for us as well. He begins with an invitation to trust: "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." This is a call to place our full confidence in Him, especially when our hearts are heavy.

Our Father Knows Best:
Jesus assures us that there is a place prepared for us in His Father's house. This promise is a reminder of God's ultimate plan for us—one filled with hope and eternal security. Our Father knows our deepest needs and has made provisions for us beyond our earthly life. This promise of a prepared place reinforces the truth that God has our best interests at heart, both now and for eternity.

Trust in His Promise:
The assurance that Jesus is preparing a place for us and will come again to receive us should bring great peace to our hearts. It reminds us that we are not alone and that our future is secure in Him. This hope allows us to live with confidence, knowing that our lives are part of a divine plan that culminates in eternal fellowship with God.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise of a place prepared for us in Your house. Help us to trust in Your words and not let our hearts be troubled by the cares of this world. Strengthen our faith in Jesus, knowing that He is preparing a place for us and will come again to bring us to Himself. Fill us with peace and hope as we look forward to being with You forever. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Action Step:
Today, reflect on the hope of the place Jesus is preparing for you. Whenever you feel troubled or anxious, remind yourself of His promise and let it bring peace to your heart. Spend a few moments in prayer, thanking God for His eternal plan and asking Him to help you trust in His perfect timing and wisdom. Share this comforting promise with someone who may need encouragement, reminding them that our Father knows best and has a wonderful future in store for us.

Verse of the Day:
"Psalm 77:1-2 - I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord."

Reflection:
The Psalms are rich with expressions of raw human emotion and profound spiritual truths. In Psalm 77, we find the psalmist in a state of deep distress, crying out to God with a fervent voice. This act of calling out to God, coupled with the assurance that He listens, is a powerful testament to God's attentiveness and care for us.

Our Father Knows Best:
In our moments of trouble and despair, it can be tempting to feel isolated and unheard. Yet, the psalmist's experience reminds us that God is always listening. He is attuned to our cries and responsive to our needs. His wisdom surpasses our understanding, and He knows the best way to bring us through our trials.

Seeking the Lord:
When faced with difficulties, our natural inclination might be to seek solutions through our own strength or understanding. However, Psalm 77 encourages us to seek the Lord first. It is in turning to Him that we find true comfort, guidance, and the strength to endure. God's presence is our refuge, and His wisdom is our compass.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for always listening to our cries and for being ever-present in our times of trouble. Help us to remember to seek You first when we face difficulties, trusting that You know what is best for us. Give us the faith to rely on Your wisdom and the peace to rest in Your care. Strengthen our hearts and guide our steps as we navigate through life's challenges. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Action Step:
Today, take a moment to bring any current troubles or anxieties to God in prayer. Speak to Him honestly and openly, knowing that He listens and cares. Reflect on a time when God has guided you through a difficult situation in the past, and let that memory strengthen your faith in His perfect wisdom and timing. Remember, our Father knows best and is always ready to hear and help us.
