Several years ago, I bought this binder at Deseret Book to hold pages for my journal. If you can’t read the Bible verse on the cover, it’s Isaiah 30:8, which says, “Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever.” Seems like a pretty appropriate verse, right?
Then I actually read Isaiah chapter 30. In context, that verse is the Lord telling Isaiah to keep a carefully detailed record of rebellious Israel’s sins, so that future generations might know that God was justified in destroying the wicked.
And this is supposed to inspire us to want to keep a journal of what we do in our lives?
