Journey Through John Day #21 (John 21)

Read - John 21

My Key Verse - John 21:24 This is the same disciple who was eyewitness to all these things and wrote them down. And we all know that his eyewitness account is reliable and accurate.

My Reflection - This scripture is probably a great way to sum up journaling. If it wasn't for four men who had decided to journal we wouldn't have the gospels. Each of them had their unique way of how they filtered the events of Jesus' life.

It is important that we take up this challenge to journal. It can be hard sometimes to put the time in. It is, though, imperative that we hear from God.

Dave Ferguson wrote about three things he has learned from journaling:

1. WE ALL NEED TO HEAR FROM GOD EVERYDAY.
2. JOURNALING IS A GREAT MULTI-FACETED SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE.
3. WE NEED TO GROW FROM "BEING FED" TO "FEEDING OURSELVES" TO "FEEDING OTHERS".

I would have to concur with those three things.

My Prayer - Father help me to stay strong in hearing from you and making it consistent.
