"and He said unto me. . . Write." Revelation 2:15
Before the rise of planners and productivity systems, before the publishing of self-help books, journals, or strategic blueprints... there was this divine command: 'Write'.
Long before the modern world taught us the value of design, method, and clarity of vision, the Creator of heaven and earth instructed humanity with a simple but profound word: 'Write what you see.'
Why did God say this?
Perhaps because writing is more than a documentation. It is meditation. It is reflection. It is obedience. To write is to bring order to the thoughts swirling in our minds. It is to turn fleeting impressions into lasting wisdom. It is to process pain, record hope, and make sense of the divine whispers we hear in our hearts.
From the battlefield reflections of Marcus Aurelius to the poetic legacy of Shakespeare, great minds throughout history have answered this ancient instruction. Surrounded by chaos, they wrote. Surrounded by death, they composed life-giving words. Their courage to reflect and write continues to nourish modern civilization.
Maybe God is not just commanding us to write for posterity, but inviting us to partner with Him in the creative process. Maybe, in writing we learn to think clearly, act purposefully, and live menaingfully.
So today, in this quiet moment, I respond to that same sacred call.
Teach me, dear God, how to write. . .
Not just with ink, but with intention
Not just to remember, but to reflect.
Not just to speak, but to listen.
That in writing, I may know You more. . . and know myself, better too.
