May 14 Psalm, Proverbs, John HCSB Morning with Jesus Daily
Psalm 60:1-5 God, You have rejected us; You have broken out against us; You have been angry. Restore us!
You have shaken the land and split it open. Heal its fissures, for it shudders.
You have made Your people suffer hardship; You have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.
You have given a signal flag to those who fear You, so that they can flee before the archers. Selah
Save with Your right hand, and answer me, so that those You love may be rescued.
Proverbs 13:16-17 Every sensible person acts knowledgeably, but a fool displays his stupidity.
A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy courier brings healing.
John 1:1-23 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created.
Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men.
That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it.
There was a man named John who was sent from God.
He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.
He was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.
The true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was created through Him, yet the world did not recognize Him.
He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him.
But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in His name,
who were born, not of blood, or of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God.
The Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We observed His glory, the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John testified concerning Him and exclaimed, "This was the One of whom I said, "The One coming after me has surpassed me, because He existed before me.'")
Indeed, we have all received grace after grace from His fullness,
for the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
No one has ever seen God. The One and Only Son--the One who is at the Father's side--He has revealed Him.
This is John's testimony when the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?"
He did not refuse to answer, but he declared: "I am not the Messiah."
"What then?" they asked him, "Are you Elijah?" "I am not," he said. "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he answered.
"Who are you, then?" they asked. "We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What can you tell us about yourself?"
He said, "I am a voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord--just as Isaiah the prophet said."
