Plan intro: DSW - JUNE 2025 - "JUSTIFIED"

 Plan intro: DSW - JUNE 2025 - "JUSTIFIED"


"Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd’st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come."

When my BFF & singing partner, Angela Carter, asked if I'd ever done a scripture writing plan using the topic, "Just As I Am," she got the wheels in my mind turning. That song seemed to be the hands-down, number one selection as the closing song in church services as I was growing up. Countless memories of belabored altar calls of refrain after refrain of the verses of "Just As I Am" flooded my mind.  White knuckled sinners gripping the back of a pew succumbed to that "first step" to the altar to make Jesus Lord and Savior of one's life as verse after verse lifted into the air of the church. Though I truly didn't comprehend it as a child, to this very day I still cannot even begin to comprehend the gravity of coming to Jesus, "Just As I Am."

Sometime later in life, someone said that the word, "justified" could be summed up in this sentence: "Just As If I'd Never Sinned." Oh, what a glorious thought!!!  ALL of our sin...past, present, and future are covered under the blood of Jesus Christ!  JUSTIFIED in His great love! The full scope of that is simply immeasurable.  We can try to quantify it in our hearts and minds, but I fully believe it can't be done.  ALL of our sin covered for ALL of eternity by just ONE drop of blood. JUSTIFIED in Christ; "Just as I am." It humbles me, brings me peace and gives me eternal hope in Jesus!

This month's scripture writing plan focuses on the word, "JUSTIFIED," as found in the King James Version of the Holy Bible.  As you read it in varying contexts, ponder the meaning of that particular passage. Read the passages just before and after the assigned verses to broaden your understanding of its use there. Is it used in a negative way, or in a positive?  Does it encourage you, admonish you, or lead your mind elsewhere? If you use a digital version of the Bible (like the Bible app), set it to a parallel Bible and look at 2 translations of the passage side by side.  You may be surprised at the new light you see the passage in. Pray for the Lord to open your mind and heart to a deeper understanding of His holy Word.  You may be surprised at how He will guide you!

Happy Writing, friends!

Melissa

** Please note: I write all my plans based from the KJV Holy Bible, so other translations may vary in wording, but should have the same context. Also, I write all my plans for 31 days so 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 ...
