Earlier this week, I offered up to you some solid reasons to get involved in the spiritual discipline of journaling. If you have not read these yet, please read that post first. These are insights from the gifted Bible teacher and author, David Jeremiah.5. A journal helps you reject bad habits. A journal can be a progress report in areas where you have been struggling. It helps you to record your successes and failures, and to learn how to deal with the issue - to see it, face it, and reject it.
6. A journal helps you reinforce good habits. Reflection upon the positive will underscore good habits and drive them deeper into your subconscious mind, so they will become more and more a part of who you are in Christ.
7. A journal helps you reach your spiritual goals. If you wait for your life to automatically become what it ought to be before God, it will not happen. God wants us to discipline ourselves for godliness' sake (1 Timothy 4:8).
8. A journal helps you remember God's works. A journal allows you to reread what God has done in former times and encourages and strengthens you knowing that even when you struggle, God is faithful.
Together these eight reasons for journaling make a strong case for doing it. So ... I encourage you to keep at it. At least 2- 3 times each week. I believe you will be stronger in our faith as a result.
Thanks for stopping by . . . and SEIZE THE DAY!
