THE DOVE WITH THE OLIVE BRANCH AS A SIGN OF HOPE
The rain had long since stopped, but the world was still silent. Noah stood at the railing of the ark and looked out at the endless water. No land, no trees, no signs. Then the dove returned. It landed on his arm, light as a breath, and in its beak was an olive branch – small, fragile, green. Noah said nothing. He didn't need to say anything. Everyone on board saw it.
Psalm 52:8:
‘But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the goodness/merciful favour of God forever and ever.’
