One of the most, if not the most important, aspect to the Christian life is hearing the Lord’s voice. And He communicates in various ways and through various means. Dreams, signs, the Bible (the most important way!), impressions through our soul and mind. He is not a cookie-cutter God; He talks to us in our own individual ways. Since I am a poet, He sometimes sends me to a poem.
But if I don’t record what He says, then I might miss what He is trying to say to me. For sometimes it is a series of things – as the Bible says in part, or confirmations of what He said the first time. Confirmations come as repeated themes in a short time-frame; for me about one to two days. If I don’t record them then I have lost an opportunity to search out what He is trying to say.
Journaling is also not a cookie-cutter activity. I prefer pencil and paper. And scraps until I can permanently record. Dated, sometimes out of order because perfection is not the main goal.
Always it is important to hear Him, but in days like these it is extremely crucial. Stay in the peace that passes understanding.
