In Jeremiah 30:2, we encounter a divine command, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.’” This passage emphasizes the importance of recording God’s messages and teachings. As writers, whether crafting fiction or nonfiction, we aspire for our words to be infused with divine inspiration.
In the Bible, we find the book of ‘Chronicles,’ which meticulously documents dates and events. This biblical example serves as a foundation for the practice of recording significant occurrences. Just as a simple clay pot can endure for days, our written words can withstand the test of time.
God continues to speak to each of us today, and we must recognize this divine intervention. Being accountable for God’s interactions with us necessitates the act of writing them down. This task is not reserved solely for ancient prophets but applies to our lives as well. Our personal stories can be remarkably powerful, as they transport people into our experiences. When individuals become emotionally engaged in a story, they are less inclined to critically evaluate facts and more open to changing their beliefs.
Drawing from my own experiences, I can attest to the profound impact of written words on my community and family over the years. Consider the potential impact on your life and those around you. We are embarking on a journey to help you begin documenting your story and marveling at God’s work. Remember that God had a plan for you even before your birth, and His plans are beyond comprehension—making them more than worthy of being put into writing.
Every moment of your life carries a history that is worth sharing and reading. We are the epistles of this generation. Can you fathom the significance of that?
