This episode was teachings we did to begin our Virtual Writing Retreat in August. However, we wanted to share these with you.

Today’s topic is: Preparing Our Hearts to Write

Many times, we feel like a jar of dirty water after it’s been shaken. We need time to settle and become still before the Lord.

Notes from this episode:

  • Many times, we feel like a jar of dirty water after it’s been shaken. We need time to settle and become still before the Lord.
  • Few musicians can begin playing an instrument without taking time to tune it.
  • “My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.” Psalms 57:7 KJV
  • Fixed = “kuwn” in Hebrew which means ‘to be directed aright; to prepare or be ready.’
  • We should pause to consider our sins, our wants, our worries, our troubles. Picture all these things leaking out of yourself and being absorbed by Christ.
  • “Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word.” Psalms 119:37 NLT
  • “Worthless” also is vanity (KJV) which is emptiness. So many empty things compete for our thoughts & attention.
  • “You must avoid all occasions of distraction from without, and imbibe (absorb) that intenseness of spirit in the work of God which locks up the eye and ear against vanity.” – John Flave
