Write!

Habakkuk 2:2-3 (AMP)

And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.

It’s still January and I am already behind.  In checking the God at Eventide devotional (www.twolisteners.org), my spirit is stirred when I see that the January 1st entry begins with what feels like a command personally directed at me:

Write for all things are now ready.

I asked what I was supposed to write.  Getting no answer, I went back to my first blog entry where I asked the same thing.  Since I’ve not gotten different instructions in this regard, I am trusting that the answer I got then is the answer for now:

What you have experienced with and of Me.

So … now the question is which thing I am to write.


And there are also many other things which Jesus did. If they should be all recorded one by one [in detail], I suppose that even the world itself could not contain (have room for) the books that would be written.

Something that has come up a couple of times today is the question of whether something is just good, or is it (from / of) God – how it aligns with God’s plans and purposes for me.  Increasingly, I find myself in need of God’s wisdom, guidance and discernment in this area.  I am grateful for this truth from Hebrews 4:14-16 (AMP):

14 Inasmuch then as we have a great High Priest Who has [already] ascended and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith in Him].

15 For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.

16 Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].

… and my journey with Him continues …
