DAY 18 – THE SECRET OF JOURNALING
Jesus said “For whoever has, to him more will be given” (Mark 4:25). It is those who retain what God gives them that will be given more. When God reveals something valuable to you from His word, don’t trust yourself to remember it. but, write it down. God is kind enough to enlighten you with His truth, and you must be careful of that entrustment by retaining it, meditating upon it, and considering how that truth must impact how you live.
The only way we can keep returning to the things the lord has given us in the past is by writing them down in a journal in such way that we can refer back to them in the future. Make your journal the place where you chronicle the spiritual truths that quicken your spirit while you are in the secret place. When God feeds you with His manna, write it down. Then, review it later. Keep visiting that truth until it’s woven into the fabric of your christian experiences and conduct.
If we embrace God’s word to our hearts with great zeal, endeavouring to not only be a hearer but also a doer of the word, then, He will measure out to us further insight with the same degree of diligence. But, if we are negligent with the insight God gives us, He will remove from our lives even that which we thought we had. Journaling is a vital element in being faithful before God. May we be found faithful of all that God has given us!
“For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance” (Matthew 13:12). Spiritual abundance is not a guarantee to all believers; it is assured only to those who are faithful with what they receive. So an abundant life in Christ is not passively received, it is aggressively taken. The secret of journaling is that; when God feeds you with insight from His word, write it down, and then review it every now and then.
