Record Your Journey

Listen to the Audio

Here is today's communion meditation.

All along the Israelites journey to the promised land God had them create signposts, memorials, and other ways to record their journey. This simple idea of recording your journey with your wins and steps of faith can be life changing. My whole life changed with the very simple commitment to start recording the lessons I had learned and pass them onto future generations. 

The goal of the Abundant Life Blueprint is to make other people great, but what does it mean to be great?

Jesus said that if we want to be great in the kingdom of heaven we must have childlike faith and humility. To me this means saying YES to God's plan while also realizing we can't make it happen on our own. Another key to greatness is found in Psalm 18:35 where David says that God's right hand supported him and his gentleness made him great. 

The faith to say YES to making other people great and the willingness to take a gentle approach rather than all or nothing is how we get started. Then Jesus said that if we want to be great we must practice and teach the commandments. In other words, are you doing what you know to do and then at a certain point the only way to keep growing is to teach it to someone else. Finally, Jesus said that if we want to be great in the kingdom we must become the servant of many. So the path seems to be... say YES to making others great, take a gentle approach, put into practice the things you know to do and begin to teach others, then find a way to scale it up and serve many. 

One of the biggest keys to greatness is recording your journey. Recording the journey helps you become great because it helps you teach it to others. It also helps you become more consistent, diligent, organized, and tuned into God, God is taking us on a journey to make us fruitful, multiply us, and increase us greatly and it is important to record the journey. 

Here is how I record my journey and the pattern you will see if you study the Abundant Life Blueprint. Everything is based on God's rhythm. In the temple of the Old Testament there was a rhythm of things that happened. The rhythm was daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. Each day I record what I am learning, then each week I look back and glean/record the lessons learned. The same can be done at the start of each month and on God's cycle of feast days. To start recording your journey can be as simple as keeping notes and journals or recording audios on your phone. 

If this is something you are ready to commit to... Then let today's communion be an activation that you are going to partner with God in this. 

I am praying for you.
