DSW - OCTOBER 2025 - THE SHEPHERD

 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 Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep” (John 10:11).

This 31-day reading plan is designed to draw you closer to the heart of the Shepherd who knows you by name. Each day, you’ll explore passages that reveal His care, His guidance, His protection, and His promises. As you walk through these Scriptures, take time to listen for His voice and rest in the assurance that you are never forgotten or alone.

Whether you are in green pastures, beside still waters, or walking through the valley of the shadow of death, the Good Shepherd is with you. He leads you, restores you, and calls you to trust Him more deeply.

My prayer is that over the next month, you will not only read about the Shepherd but also experience His presence in fresh and life-giving ways.

Happy Writing!  ~Mel~

** 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"

 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

 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...
