Write It Down-Day 5
Day 5: Write it Down
KEY TAKEAWAY: The shortest pencil is longer than the longest memory.
“Then the Lord answered me and said, “Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.”
Habakkuk 2:2-3 NASB
1. Read Habakkuk 2:2-3. what reasons did God give to Habakkuk as to why he should write down the revelations that he was receiving?
2. What do you do to document what God has been doing in your life?
3. What are some things in your life that—as you look back—now you can see how God carefully determined your steps?
Why is it important to journal our prayers? Because we have a natural tendency to remember what we should forget and forget what we should remember. Journaling is the best antidote— to spiritual amnesia. Through the practice of journaling and the discipline of remembering, we can look back and chart a path between our prayers and God’s answers. Connecting these dots inspires our faith like nothing else, because it paints a picture of God‘s faithfulness.

Consider the prayers of your heart from a year ago, a decade ago, your earliest prayers. What paths do you see from your initial request and God’s answers?
