I started reading the gospel of John last night. I only got to the first three verses. I stopped to savor my roots. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Psalm 119 is a kaleidoscope of verses that display many names for His word. Here are a few of my favorite anchoring verses. Verse 1 says, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the  law of the Lord!” Verse 15 says, “I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways.”

Please read this ‘root’ verse carefully. Verse 89 says, “Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.” Titus 1:2 says, “In hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.” 

Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Back to John 1:3. It says, “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
