It Works!

Ezekiel 3:5-6  Take unto your heart all My words which I will speak to you and listen closely.  
Isaiah 30:8 Now go, write it on a tablets before them and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may serve in the time to come as a witness forever
Jeremiah 30:2  Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, "Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.  

How many of us can even remember what we had for lunch last Saturday, let alone recall something God may have spoken or revealed to us through His Word that we read 2 weeks ago?

Do you know that the most successful weight loss programs require you to keep a food & exercise diary to show you what you've eaten as well as the calories and values of each food item & the time you exercised to condition your body?  Everything is recorded!  When you keep a record of it, you become mindful of what's going into your body and the exercise you are doing - all for better results!  
It works!

What about our spiritual health and growth? If we want to take to heart the things God speaks to us in His Word, we will read it and then write down what He said to us!  Keeping a journal helps us to pay better attention to what we are reading and to listen more closely to what God may want to say.  

I, for one, want to remember the blessings as well as the life lessons I am learning.  Be proactive in the health of your body, your mind, and your spirit.   May God be glorified in all we do.  

How do I journal?  I use the S.O.A.P. method.  It's easy, to the point, and it can be short or long.  

S = Scripture
O = Observation
A = Application
P = Prayer
Journaling is good - very good.  Try it - you'll like it.  
It works!
