And The Word Gave us Life, and Keeps Giving us Life. (Poetry inspired by John 1)

In the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with God, 
and the Word was God. 

He was with God in the beginning.
He exisited with God,
At the very beginining.

The word was not just mere scribbles or letterings on paper
He existed before the foundation of the earth was created.
In fact, by Him the foundation of the earth was laid 
& through Him the structure of the whole earth 
found & keeps finding full expression.

The forces of darkness roamed the whole earth,
engulfed it and left it in ashes.
But the father by His word- Jesus
covered the earth with beauty & light.

Through Him all things were made; 
without Him nothing was made that has been made.
In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

By God's word, the first man was made.
By His word, the woman was created.
Through His word, the whole earth is filled with men and women
boys and girls.

By God's word, He covered the whole earth with flood.
The flood that destroyed the wickedness of the earth
leaving only the rightoeous man and his family as survivors- Noah

By God's word, He established seasons.
Season to plant, season to harvest,
winter season, summer season.

By God's word, Abram became Abraham
Sarai became Sarah.
Their coast became enlarged.
Through God's word, the child of promise was born - Isaac
And they became parents of many generations.

By God's word, two great nations 
were concieved & birthed by Rebekah.
through God's word, one nation was destined to serve the other.

Through God's word Jacob became Israel
and inherited the land & territory promised to his grandfather- Abraham

By God's word, Abraham's descendants soujourned to Egypt
prospered for awhile and became slaves there.
God's word yet still raised a deliverer - Moses
God's word initiated and sealed the deliverance of His children from Egypt.

God's word to His children in the wilderness,
gave them food,direction and victory.

God's word comforted Hannah,
gave her a son worth thousands of sons - Samuel.

Through God's word, 
King David sat on the throne of Israel as king.
Though it tarried, God's word was for an appointed time,
for David to riegn in rest over Israel.

By God's word, John the baptist knew his identity,
He walked in it.

By God's word, mere men became fisher's of men
men who raised the dead & healed the sick.
By God's word timid men became bold & radical for the Lord

By God's word day and night happens
By God's word, the whole earth will come to an end,
one day.
By God's word- heaven and earth will disappear.
But God's word remains sure,
unwavering, unbending,
ever relenting to perform all that He says it will perform.

Search His word,
believe what He says about you
And watch His word become flesh in your life.
