	There are a few guidelines you should consider when starting a journal. Above all else, keep it simple. Don’t attempt to maintain a comprehensive diary with pages and pages of notes. A few sentences will do. Also, be creative with your journal entries. Write down quotes, dreams, Bible passages, excerpts from books you’re reading—anything to inject life into your time. Be completely honest with God as you express what’s on your heart. Finally, make sure ''God'' is your focus. Avoid becoming too preoccupied with yourself or with your style of writing. These notes aren’t intended for public consumption so you need not become self-conscious.		There are a few guidelines you should consider when starting a journal. Above all else, keep it simple.

-	{{RightInsert\|'''Meditate on Matthew 7:24.''' What’s more important than hearing God’s words?}}Meditating on God’s Word teaches us to think biblically. If we take seriously what the Holy Spirit writes on the tablets of our hearts (2Co 3:3), we will sustain the power of his instruction by putting it down on paper. Better yet, we’ll go one big step further by obeying what he says. When he gives us treasures through our meditation on his Word, let’s learn from the parable of the talents and put his gifts to work (Mt 25:14-30). It’s a great way of ensuring that the treasures keep on coming.	+	{{RightInsert\|'''Meditate on Matthew 7:24.'''
