A Ready Writer
Psalm 45: 1-6
“My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.”
Many people find journaling a rich spiritual experience. It’s a simple process—just a matter of keeping a small notebook or using a journaling app on your phone. But what should go into our journals? Don’t think you must write so much it discourages you from continuing the habit. Scribble just enough. You can tailor it to fit your own specifications. For example, if you combine journaling with your daily devotions, you might jot down the date, a few lines about your day, and some observations about the passage you’re reading. When you study your Bible with a pen in hand, it helps focus your mind on what you’re reading. It’s also a good way to maintain an updated prayer list.
Journaling helps you leave a record of your daily life for those who will find it after you’re gone. When we write down what God has done for us, it creates a record of His faithfulness, preserving the lessons He teaches us in His Word.
The next time you sit down for your Bible study, try using the pen of a ready writer.
A point to ponder…
What happens to us is not as important as the meaning we assign to it. Journaling helps sort this out.
