DSW - MAY 2024 - ONE ANOTHER

PREFACE TO INTRO: Yes, the plan for May was to use the "life" verses people submitted.  Unfortunately, though this group has almost 7,500 members, the vast majority are silent members and while that is absolutely fine, we unfortunately only received a handful of submissions for the "life" verses plan.  I will re-introduce the idea at another time and maybe then, it will fly!  :)

INTRO TO MAY 2024 - "ONE ANOTHER"

On his 1992 album, "Change Your World," Grammy nominated, multi-Dove award winning artist, Micheal W. Smith, included the song, "Love One Another." Though it didn't garner as much critical acclaim as many of his other songs have, this one sticks in my mind because I'm pretty sure that I literally wore that entire CD out, listening to it over & over & over again! The chorus to "Love One Another," says,

Love one another, Love one anotherWork it in to work it out, There could never be enoughLove one another, Love one anotherCause you know without a doubt, You can change your world with love

Around that same time in my life, we were attending a church in Virginia Beach, VA where Pastor Benny Hampton lead us all in a stirring rendition of  his own "one another" diddy, using the wording straight from 1 John 4:7-8 KJV.  I'll never forget his booming voice and charismatic personality bursting through as he belted out the words, with an added "be-dooby-do" at the end.  Point made.  It stuck in my heart & mind.

I was recently at a mental health and the church seminar at a local church where the speaker, Dr. Shane Clements, made mention of the fact that the words "one another" are used a plethora of times in God's Word.  I made a note to research that and when I did, I knew I wanted it to be a scripture writing plan. 

Those 2 words are golden!  They are used in a myriad of contexts, the likes of which I haven't even begun to capture in this plan!  As you write this month, try to determine the context in which those 10 letters are used that day's assignment. Ponder the application in the time it was written, the application in today's world, and the application in your life.  As we do, I believe our loving, heavenly Father God will reveal to us new ways that those words can minister to our hearts, minds & lives. 

Happy Writing!!

~Mel~

Please note: I write all my plans based off the King James Version of the Holy Bible, so other translations may vary in wording but should have the same context. Also, I write all plans for 31 days so that they can be used any month of the year.

PLAN INTRO - DSW - AUGUST 2025 - "HIS NAME"

Image
 PLAN INTRO - DSW - AUGUST 2025 - "HIS NAME" In the early days of our marriage, as our family was just beginning and growing, my husband and I took very careful consideration in the naming of our children.  As each one came along, we'd painstakingly research names for both a boy and a girl, as we anxiously waited to see which name we'd get to use. Our first child's name (a boy) was selected after a sermon by our (then) pastor and the 1st & 2nd grade Sunday school class that we taught.  Our 2nd child's name (a girl), had been inspired by a book I read at the age of 14, and had been hanging on to ever since.  Our third child's name (a boy), came as a tribute to 2 of our grandfathers (had he been a girl, he would have been named, "Gabriella," which my research revealed means "breath of God," and I absolutely loved it!). Our fourth child was adopted, but we had some input on her name, and she too was named after family members.  Remarka...

DSW PLAN INTRO - APRIL 2026 - NAMES OF GOD

Image
 April 2026 - Daily Scripture Writing Plan, "Names of God" Preface: This month's plan was originally shared back in July 2022.  As I attempted to create a new plan for April 2026, my mind was unsettled and my Spirit felt blocked from creating brand new content.  I prayed and sought the Lord's direction.  I felt Him leading me back to this plan from several years ago.  The names of God are timeless. I never tire of studying them.  As we are currently observing Holy Week leading up to Easter 2026, I believe this plan definitely bears repeating.  Perhaps it will help us keep our focus on the characteristics of our loving Father, even long past frilly, new Easter dresses, hats and bows. May it remind us throughout the month of the facets of God we may not think about every day. (Original Intro Content - July 2022)  "El shaddai, el shaddai El-elyon na adonia Age to age You're still the same By the power of the name El shaddai, el shaddai Erkamka na ado...

DSW - OCTOBER 2025 - THE SHEPHERD

Image
 DSW - OCTOBER 2025 - THE SHEPHERD 14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.  15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.  16. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there  shall be one fold, and one shepherd.  17. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.  18. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.                 John 10:14-18 (KJV) The image of the shepherd runs like a golden thread throughout the pages of Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals Himself as the One who leads, protects, provides, and lays down His life for His sheep. Jesus declares, “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good ...
