In the beginning 
was the Word, 
and the Word was with God, 
and the Word was God.
John 1:1 CSB
No nice intro to set the scene or warm us up with John. 
Bang! 
John is all about the Word.
The Word.
The "logos". 
The "logos" is like the expression of a concept, the embodiment of an idea.
The Word is the person of Jesus. 
The expression of, 
the embodiment of, God. 
He is from before time, outside of time.
He was there at creation of time.
He is God.
Sometimes my picture of Jesus is more the scraggly rabbi walking between towns 2,000 years ago, and I lose sight of the Logos, the embodiment of God, who created time.
Who built space.
The expression of God.
At the same time Jesus is God, and wandered the  villages and synagogues. 
We cannot settle for a small Jesus.
Rest today in knowing the Logos, the very expression of, the embodiment of the Eternal.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
