JESUS RESURRECTED - the WORD made FLESH - ALIVE

As we begin the week after the Celebration ofJesus Christ's Resurrection,we start anew in "The 📘" *with
The WORD Made FLESH[April 21-27] 

Psalm 85 Monday: John 1:1-14  Tuesday: Colossians 1:15-23 Wednesday: Colossians 2:9-15 Thursday: Philippians 2:1-13 Friday: Hebrews 1:1-13 Saturday: Matthew 1:18-25 Sunday: Isaiah 53:1-12

* an actual book - "The Blue Book" - Jim Branch{there's a Spotify playlist companion to his book}

Beginning with the gospel book of John, which contains the most well-known verse that contains "and the Word was made flesh" or "and the Word became flesh" ... certainly ties the glorious event of Jesus' Resurrection back to the beginning of Jesus that we celebrate at Christmas and even connects the beginning of God's Word in the book of Genesis. The entire Word of God connects from Genesis to Revelation yet this particular verse allows us to know that there is a beautiful golden thread all the way through all the books of God's Word and the purpose of these powerful events as well. 

I read various versions of the Bible for the reading on Monday and this particular verse but then I saw an image with these words for John 1:14-18 (copyright prevents me from sharing the purple image) but here are the words in a version that I didn't check:

"...the Word became human and lived here on earth among us. He was full of unfailing love & faithfulness. And we have seen His glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father."

I believe it's New Century Version and as you see I linked to verses 14-18 and our daily  reading given only went to verse 14.

Verse 14 continues with some form of "and dwelt among us" - one says "made His dwelling among us". I personally believe that His dwelling is not just among us but should be within us and that since Jesus dwells in us, we definitely should act more and more Christ-like, and reflect the image of Jesus/God to others among us, but that does not give us the right to insist that they believe as we believe rather we should act in a way that draws them to want what we have. Most of us need work in this daily so that is why we call upon the Name of Jesus and ask for the Holy Spirit to lead, guide and change us. Once again, taking a chance and sharing this image because I really love the peace and serene beauty in it (hoping it's ok)

Reminds me of the image I think of when 

John baptizes Jesus

(the verses of this follow in this chapter from John)

Here are my own photos taken on February 1st, 2025 right outside 

but I missed capturing the one when the light shone through like the Daily Verse one

<>

I came here to explore the meaning of John 1:14 although the words seem quite clear. {right now the 1st "Reading for Reflection" by Jim Branch} gives us this in a significant, powerful "heart" description but if you desire more, iBelieve shares a very thorough one, so I need not expound. 

As usual, once I get off-track, I end up down a different path of where I intended to go - but this week is just getting started with "the WORD made FLESH", however, I believe this initial scripture from John 1 is the key verse for me. I probably will continue to explore and focus here, because I'm intrigued by this beautiful verse and its meaning. 

[Although I intended this week to be a break, thinking that it would be difficult to find more verses that contain "the WORD made FLESH" and I did not want to search for "the WORD" again (since we already covered that back in 6) and I have a pretty good idea of what verses I'd find on FLESH ... that would not be the same, so the complete phrase is more important and its significance in how we ABIDE in Jesus and Jesus in us. Perhaps you've forgotten, or I never shared this here on my blog yet, but the One Word that I was given when I took the (in)courage quiz for my One Word for 2025 was ABIDE. It's no surprise that God brought this one back to mind.]

Still I'm not sure where the rest of the Scripture readings this week will lead, nor the Readings for Reflection, but I'm sure that by the end of this week, I will have a better grasp - even while we PAUSE (break) I will ponder this even more, since I am so thankful that "the WORD became FLESH and dwelt among us" and that John, considered to be Jesus Beloved, begins with this; and yet I truly believe that when Jesus dwells in us, it's because HE sees each of us as His Beloved, so He's waiting for that best image as we ALL were created in His Image to shine forth, especially in the darkness of this current time; and my photos, I keep watch to see Jesus' return to burst forth and save us, redeem us & resurrect us. I always believe that Jesus' heart desperately loves each one of us & is just waiting for the good of God to reach out to one another in His love & aMazing Grace! That is God in the flesh - the best of you and the best of me shining the true light that Jesus lived, and can still live through us as we love one another. It's one of the two greatest commands that He summed up all the rest in these two: (Matthew 22:34-40; Mark 12:28-34; Luke 10:25-28) Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, with all your strength & Love one another as He has loved us!

LISTENING

[image credit]
"Speak Lord, Your servant is LISTENING!"1 Samuel 3:9-10
This image actually could have been one from me, here this week, out in my 7 and a half acres of pine trees,gazing up and allowing the Son (sun)to shine and filter through the other "noises" around -mostly in nature as I take pause & reflectas I truly tried to focus on
LISTENING
- but the image is not mine
nor does it seem to be so easy to pause & reflect
and truly 
LISTEN
to hear God speak
to listen to others
or to block out
all the noise(s)
stealing our attention
waking us at all hours
alerting us to take time
and
really LISTEN to God
for God
what is He speaking to us
individually and collectively
I am desperately trying to just hear
GOD
and so I've been really
LISTENING
searching for any
WORD
from God
Hoping to discern well
to hear His Whisper
above my fear
above the clamor
above my own thoughts
above what others are blasting so loudly
Oh Lord, how I wish to block out the evil and all that's happening
in our world, in our nation, in my personal sphere
in me
Yes, Lord
"I am Your servant
and I am
LISTENING"
SPEAK LORD
{this has been consuming me all week, perhaps too much}
So I write and wait for Your Holy Spirit
to enlighten me & help me to
HEAR as I LISTEN
and
READ

PRAYER

For this past week of LENT

this was The 📘Reading Plan

APRIL [March 31-April 6]  10. PRAYER Psalm 84 Monday: Matthew 6:5-15 Tuesday: James 5:13-18 Wednesday: John 17:1-26 Thursday: Psalm 131 Friday: Colossians 1:3-14 Saturday: Philippians 1:3-11 Sunday: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24

I found myself leaning in more closely
during my
PRAYER
time
as well as
seeming to personally need more
PRAYER
yet really hoping to listen to
Hear His Whisper.
Today
Sunday
[not counted in the 40 days of Lent]
I found myself at the computer for a medical purpose
but glanced at this exact graphic of a
PRAYER
that's special in so many people's lives
usually for those in recovery
however
we all are to some degree.
Most only know the beginning of this
PRAYER
but I hope as you read this all the way through
you will agree it's the rest of the 
PRAYER
that
matters
{at least, it does for me}

[the image is available as a print from American Luxury Gifts]

{Etsy has a beautiful print in blue - my favorite color}
I find great comfort and peace in "blue" and in the above image print 
but mostly in the 
Serenity
PRAYER
written by
Reinhold Niebuhr
an American theologian

"Therefore, the most that can be expected from any society is not love but justice – "
from this article of the background story
<>
Added to the serenity of this 
PRAYER
came the lyrics of a well-known beautiful old hymn
shared by
💚
my friend & sisterin Christ
[and its background here and here]
these are the words that brought healing & solace to me 
although I'm still singing the full song in my mind & heart
because it's so tender and precious when
we have that kind of an intimate relationship with
"... JESUS ..."

[1st] "... What a privilege to carry   Everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit,   O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry   Everything to God in prayer! ...  [2nd] {beautiful & treasurable! but not shared here} [3rd] "Are we weak and heavy-laden,   Cumbered with a load of care? {yes(sigh)} "... Precious Savior, still our refuge—   Take it to the Lord in prayer... In His arms He’ll take and shield thee, {🙏}   Thou wilt find a solace there." [4th] "Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear; May we ever, Lord, be bringing All to Thee in earnest prayer. Soon in glory bright, unclouded, There will be no need for prayer— Rapture, praise, and endless worship Will be our sweet portion there."

I thank💚her for this precious reminder

MY "JUSTICE SEEKING SOUL" in 2025

Back before 2024 ended & 2025 began, I set up this post to publish on this day - January 20th - (originally; reposted in March) on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Inauguration Day (11:30 ET starts); and a very special person who was born on this day 95 years ago for his birthday. So this special person preceded the other two in marking this date by 7 years. However, that all 3 end up on this day, this year could be considered rare. 

[Facts shared below for 2 of these; the other one is on that person's birth certificate from Fort Dodge, Iowa]

"Inauguration Day moved to January 20, beginning in 1937, following ratification of the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution, where it has remained since." On Nov. 2, 1983, Reagan signed a bill making the third Monday in January a federal holiday in observance of King's legacy. MLK Day was first observed three years later on Jan. 20, 1986 and since.

None of this, or all 3 of these, are the reason that I chose to prewrite this blog post, and a devotional that I was motivated to purchase in an early September weekend when the Spirit prompted me, yet I still have not read it but decided that I would definitely need to start reading it now, as I see all that is happening day after day. 

I have chosen January 20th as the day that I will begin (if I don't before) and focus on the scriptures on this day, but will not be reading the entire book in this one day. I'll be reading God's Word primarily from that devotional book (since I will still be doing my annual "prayer & fasting"), which is the reason I put this together ahead to publish on January 20th so that not only would I continue to seek God and read His Word, but so I would not be distracted on this day by the Inauguration, which I had pre-determined I would not turn on my TV to see any of it. 

I have prayed in many ways about this day and the people. What I need, so that I continue to remain CALM (my 2024 One Word) and prayerful is "Rest for the Justice Seeking Soul" (the well-written devotional by Reverend Dr. Susan K. Williams Smith). I thought that my 2025 One Word might be any of the words in this title, since apparently this is how my soul seems to find calm and needs to lean for now. 

I hope you can see the thread that ties what I began with for this blog post but if not: it's that "equality and justice" is what two of the 3 and this book have stood for in their lives and have in common - human rights for all. And usually the person being inaugurated on this day to be President also stands for this - especially ones like former President Jimmy Carter (at 100 years old) - but in my opinion, not this time, nor this person. He stands for himself, seeking revenge & retaliation - power and wealth as his driving force. 

It's ok if you don't agree with me, but sadly, this is what I see. I hope he proves me wrong, and my perspective makes sense. whether you agree or not. I spend much time seeking truth and will continue, to watch and remain alert as I "stand guard". So this is why I must focus and seek God & spend my time today in His Word, as the special birthday person celebrates with his remaining siblings that have come to be with him for his day.

But I need:

"REST for the (my) JUSTICE

SEEKing SOUL"

{the words in CAPS each being considered as 2025 One Word}

The main scripture verse on the cover of this book is from Amos 5:24.

Written inside the opening pages in "what people are saying" about the author & the book states: "Susan K. Smith knows what it means to stand in the center of the storm with hurting and struggling people."~ Rev. Dr. Emma Jordan Simpson

I need to learn and know how to do this in 2025 and forward. It goes on to say:

 "What does one need to do to hold on to the courage to be fully human in a world that punishes humanity and vulnerability?"~ Rev. Dr. Emma Jordan Simpson

WOW!!! - these words were included from Rev. Dr. Emma Jordan Simpson; and she continues with more powerful questions like that one above, she then states that this book "... reaches deep into the places of the hearts of people who refuse to disengage or live in denial with exactly what our hearts need daily to weather difficult times and spaces..." I know that this is what I need and my heart needs for 2025 to keep my spirit hoping. The meditations of this book will hopefully do this and feed my soul and spirit, starting off with Amos 5:6-9 (the book mentions that the Bible version used unless otherwise indicated is The New Revised Standard Version. {I am not familiar with this version}

(1) "Seek the Lord and live or He will break out against the house of Joseph like fire and it will devour Bethel, with no one to quench it. Ah, you that turn justice to wormwood,  and bring righteousness to the ground! The one who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning and darkens the day into night,  who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the Lord is His name, who makes destruction flash out against the strong, so that destruction comes upon the fortress." (NRSVA)

Interesting note from the NIV that I do readAmos 5 titled"A Lament and Call to Repentance"{which seems fitting for this day}
It was interesting to see in various versionswhat this chapter was titled, some are similar, some don't title
<>

Here are the Scripture verses: (in whatever version you choose)💙 The title of that meditation is in quotation marks after the Scripture 
[There is no reason for the grouping of the verses, it just makes them more easily readable & breaks the list of verses down for me]  (it is not done this way in the devotional)

There are 574 verses that contain JUSTICE - here's onethat tells us what Jesus says about JUSTICE:

"And will not God bring about JUSTICE for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off?  I tell you, He will see that they get JUSTICE, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:7-8 NIV

and here are 2 prayers for JUSTICE that I saved:

"Keep us Father from trying to take matters into our own hands for vengeance is Yours and You will repay - but Lord in Your grace and mercy we pray that You would give justice and peace to all those that have been cruelly and unfairly treated by their fellow man and may injustice and carelessness that they have had to endure be the means to draw them into Your saving arms of grace - we ask this in the precious name of the Lord, Jesus." author unknown "Ever present God, You called us to be in relationship with one another and promised to dwell wherever two or three are gathered. In our community, we are many different people; we come from many different places, have many different cultures. Open our hearts that we may be bold in finding the riches of inclusion and the treasures of diversity among us. We pray in faith." Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

"... with liberty and JUSTICE for all"

Let us PRAY for America!

It was either this devo (which holds more of my passion)above or "Retirement Rocks" - and so far, I'm not finding much truth in that title, at least not for me.💙See you in February soon(I guess briefly before Lent starts)🙏Peggy<>
