Did You Get It In Writing?

Before we begin, just want to give a Father's Day shout out to my Dad. He is the best father a girl could ever ask for! I'm so grateful for all he has done for my family, church, and countless others. Love you, Dad!

For as long as I can remember I've kept a journal. I have countless notebooks everywhere filled with my writings. I've kept diaries, written poetry, started novels, sketched out plays, and jotted down ideas. I've also kept journals of my times with God.

I have notes from Sunday services, revelations from my personal time with God, and my personal prayers written down in their own special books. I make a point to go back through these books to read and remember my spiritual journey.

Last night I received encouragement just re-reading a word that the Lord had given me one night while I was in prayer. Looking over His thoughts and instructions for me helped me to sharpen my focus and gave me reassurance.

Whenever God speaks to your heart, take the time to write it down so you can have a record of exactly what He said. Over time, our brains can get fuzzy and we can lose the essence of what was originally given. Writing while the words are still fresh will ensure that we can stay continually blessed from what God has said.

Think of how you use the Bible and continue to go to its pages for instruction, strength, and assurance. We know exactly what God requires of us because it's right there written down plainly for us to see. How much more can you gain strength from what God has personally revealed to you in your individual walk with Him?

Every word from God should be cherished and treasured. Make sure you write it down, so you can get the full impact of His words.

Verse of the Day: Follow my advice, my son; always treasure my commands. Obey my commands and live! Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes. Tie them on your fingers as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Proverbs 7:1-3
