📖 Verse of the Day

Reflection:

“In the beginning was the Word." John's opening line hits like a thunderclap, challenging our very concept of time and existence. It's not just a poetic flourish; it's a revelation of Jesus' divine nature.

This "Word" isn't just speech. It's the very essence of God's expression, the foundation of all that exists. John is telling us that Jesus isn't merely a great teacher or prophet who appeared 2000 years ago. He's eternally existed alongside God the Father.

Think about that. The same Jesus who walked dusty Galilean roads also designed the intricate patterns of DNA. The one who calmed storms with a word is the reason seasons change. And this eternal Christ chose to enter our world, to make the intangible touchable, to translate the language of eternity into human terms.

What does this mean for us today? It means that when we pray, we're not shouting into a void, but communing with the One who was there at creation's dawn. When we face challenges, we have the power of the universe on our side. Our daily lives are infused with eternal significance because we're walking with the One who has always been, and always will be.

Ask Yourself:

• How does knowing Jesus has always been with God change the way I see Him today?

• In what area of my life do I need to lean on the power of Jesus, the eternal Word?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear God,

It's incredible to think that You, who created everything, want to be part of my life. Sometimes it's hard to grasp how vast You are, yet how close You want to be to me.

Thank You for sending Jesus, for letting Him walk dusty roads just like I do. Help me remember that when I pray, I'm not just speaking into space, but reaching You, the One who set the stars in place.

When life gets tough, remind me that You're not just the Creator, but my loving Father. Help me sense Your presence, turning struggles into opportunities for Your grace to shine.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
