| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “A fresh start in a new year” Our Bible verse for today: “These commands I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them … Talk about them … Write them …” Deuteronomy 6:6;7;9 (CSB) Our thought for today: “Write it down” The Bible is filled with commands, directives, instructions, inspirational thoughts, and positive affirmations, all designed to encourage us and guide us as we seek to live our best lives. And over-and-over again we are told to write them down. Deuteronomy 6:6-9 is just one of the many examples in Scripture where God instructs His people to write down what He has revealed to them and to review it frequently. Why does God instruct us to write these things down and to then frequently review them? Because if we don’t, we will forget them and we will quickly get off track. It’s so easy to get caught-up in life. We become weighed down with the cares of life and we lose perspective. Then we can lose hope and to get off track. That’s why it’s so important to make the extra effort to stay focused on the things God has revealed to us and which He has instructed us to do. Yesterday we considered how it is that our subconscious mind works to deliver to us the outcomes our conscious mind is expecting and is focused on. Therefore, it’s important and helpful to discipline our conscious mind to stay focused on the outcomes we really do want. That’s why we write down our resolutions and then review them multiple times every day. It’s also why we form a mental image in our mind of what our life will look like once that outcome is a reality for us. Then we play that movie in our head over-and-over again. As you continue to prayerfully consider the changes God would like you to make in your life in 2025, be sure to write them down. Decide on the objective, create a plan to achieve it, write it down, then review it multiple times every day. If you do that, you will be much more likely to stay on track and to actually achieve it. So please, write it down. God bless, Pastor Jim (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville |
